When we first boarded the boat we were not sure if we would get to see many animals. Steve has been on tons of whale watching cruises when he was younger and he told me that the most he ever saw was a "foot print" of a whale.
Once we got out to sea, we were amazed when we first saw a pod of dolphins! We were so excited and as we began to cruise further into the ocean the pod kept getting bigger and bigger. At one point we were surrounded by hundreds of dolphins. The kids response, "Amazing!". There was a part of the ship that had a grated floor so we could see the dolphins right under our feet. We could even hear their whistle as they were talking to each other. "Amazing!" We have seen lots of dolphins at Sea World, but this was totally different. Seeing a pod of wild dolphins was a life changing experience and one that we will all will never forget.
Andrew had such a great time on his adventure and was grinning from ear to ear even the next morning. He wants me to take him to the library tomorrow so that he can get some more books on ocean life. I am so happy that The Ocean Institute has sparked his interest in learning more about the ocean.
Thank you Ocean Institute for an amazing day!
