We spent some time today at the New Bedford Whaling National Historic Site. It was an interesting visit as the site covers both the whaling history and the immigrant history in the city. We explored the whaling routes, watched the NPS movie and strolled the streets near the waterfront.

There was definitely more to see and do than we saw or did. We’ll look forward to another visit sometime in the future. Until then, we’ll look back on this photo to remember how big the tail of a sperm whale is. Both girls were surprised at the size!
