Vacation: Sunday and Whale Watching

One of the things I love about our church is that you can go anywhere in the world and find a congregation where you will feel at home.  They have the same meetings and formats and even Sunday School lessons.  It was great to visit the small congregation in Plymouth.  Everyone was friendly and I was even needed to play the piano in Relief Society.  I am so grateful for our church, for its doctrines, its organization, its wonderful members.  Yep, we enjoyed church away from home.  After church we went on a family walk on some of the trails right next to our rental house.  While the rest of the country was roasting, we enjoyed pleasant weather.  The scenery was so different from Iowa, it was so enjoyable.

On Monday we got up and headed to Plymouth Harbor.  When we decided we were headed to the NorthEast for vacation I knew I wanted to go Whale Watching.  I have always wanted to do this and I was not disappointed by this experience.  It was a beautiful day.  We enjoyed just being out on the ocean (we may have enjoyed it more because I made everyone take some dramamine).  Seeing the whales was awesome.  We had a great location on the boat and were able to see quite well even though there were so many passengers.  I think the boys enjoyed the boat ride more than the whales, but the girls and I loved it all!  I am so glad we were able to do this.

Notice the mist from his spout.  Pretty cool

 

 

 

Anna stood almost the entire trip, several hours.  She did not want to miss a thing.  We also spotted some seals, but they were much more difficult to see.  Anna is definitely the animal lover in the family.

Another great day on vacation!
