After a full day of touring the city of Boston, we decided to break free and drive the coast for a bit of sightseeing and whale watching.
I found this cute little Medieval castle and we chose to check it out...
it was so fun to go back in time with these two and learn a little about John Hammond.
The girls had fun exploring the draw bridge entrance, the secret passages, the inventions of John Hammond....
and the grounds on which the castle was built. It sits right on the rocky shoreline of Massachusetts.
The design within the castle, including the coy pond, had amazing detail.
A rare photo of the two of us :)
MK is into selfies right now.....
This castle was a little hidden gem that started our day off fabulously....
until Maddox found the spinning wheel and deemed it not fit for a princess!
Following our castle tour, we drove a little further to Gloucester, Ma. to go on a whale watching adventure....
this tour was one thing the girls had asked to do and though it was a bit overcast, the seas were calm so we decided it was a the perfect opportunity to see these amazing creatures up close.
It was a bit chilly even before we departed to sea.
The New England coastline is beautiful....definitely something worth seeing a few times in your lifetime!
This cutie was all set, sunglasses and all!
We drove for about an hour and then we spotted our first whale!
Pictures will never do this event justice....
it is amazing to watch them, they are huge and yet so graceful!
We had a big day and this little one was quick to get comfy and settle in for the drive to see our friends, Nancy and Marion, for the rest of our trip!
