VACATION UPDATE!!!

Just updating you about my trip!!!!
It has been downright amazing and beautiful. The nature is fantastic and in the best shape I have ever seen. There were so many new things to do, some of those things that we did included mini golfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and for a first time for me, Whale Watching. Today I went on a dune tour of Cape Cod’s beaches and other nearby areas. I loved it so much! The history behind it was so amazing and fascinating! When it came to whales, it was so cool to see such massive living things so up close andin person. In total, we saw 3 whales; 2 being Humpbacks and the other one a Fin Whale. One of the Humpbacks were actually stuck in the harbor. The captain of our boat called in the animal rescue team, they came to us, waited, and once the whale surfaced, we went on our way to sea (very rough waves) while they helped it out of the harbor. We went on to see another Humpback that had surfaced right next to another tour boat ahead of us, there were 2 other boats and ours at the time, so 3. They departed, so we moved in but soon as they did the Humpback breached right in front of us. Captain had to go in full reverse to stop before hitting, but it dived back down before we did. Only downside was once your at full speed trying to reverse... (what goes forward will continue going forward until an opposing force is applied or something stops you). A few people on top deck went sliding down to the bow (quite funny) but nothing major, just some nasty waves slamming the deck as we hit waves. It was funny also to see how people reacted when the waves came up above deck and on they were screaming and laughing. I got soaked by wind driven waves.
Oh the feeling of salt water hitting your face at high velocity...😍

As I was saying... The Humpback that breached in front of us was named Hancock. Age 23, female. A whale tracked daily by Provincetown Dolphin Fleet. We then made our way to shore, to see a Fin Whale in the distance, it jumped out of the water. It was quite majestic. Overall, Whale Watching was flat out A-ma-zing...
I would LOVE TO DO IT AGAIN!!

However... 2 more days... till I gotta depart and make my way back to my hometown again... 🙁
It was fun here at Cape Cod with my cousins and extended family. Oh the memories made... But all good things have to come to an end.

BUT I GOT 2 DAYS TO GO. TWO DAYS FOR FUN FILLED ACTION AND SO MANY ACTIVITIES TO DO!!!

I WOULD LOVE TO DO IT ALL AGAIN!!!!!!

As promised, pictures!!!
