Wildlife on the Go

We had the best two and a half months on the road this summer. It all started according to our plan... Wait. No it didn't. Not even close. Even though, we had every detail of the summer mapped out, it all changed each step of the way and those changes began ten days before the trip even … [Read more...]

Chesapeake Bay, North American's largest estuary, has been a place my mom and I have wanted to visit for awhile because it is one of the things we talk with students about at Marine Science Adventures. We had set aside one week to explore the area but because of previous delays, we were left with … [Read more...]

The only bad thing about our visit to Assateague Island National Seashore was that we didn't have more time there. After a couple of  busy weeks in Boston and Cape Cod, it was a really nice change of pace. There's so much to do and see on the island. It all involves nature, hiking, biking, the … [Read more...]

Wompatuck State Park is beautiful and quiet. It's close to Boston, Cape Cod, Plimoth Plantation, and Adams National Historial Park. Nantasket Beach is only 5 miles away. It's close to World's End, a beautiful park and conservation area. We loved the beautiful hiking trails and the paved … [Read more...]

Cape Cod was my very favorite place that we visited this summer. The food was amazing, the people were nice, and the wildlife was unbelievable. I will never forget our time there and I hope to go back. Much of the area around Boston and Cape Cod is thickly settled so we assumed Cape Cod would be … [Read more...]

This is a reall cool place. We learned a lot here! The town of Woods Hole in and of itself is worth the stop. We soon learned it's pretty much all about Marine Science. Driving through, we got to see The Atlantis, the big oceanographic research vessel. We definitely want to visit this town again … [Read more...]

Boston. Where do we begin? There is so much to do in Boston that it's hard to choose what to do. We chose the Freedom Trail, the JFK Presidential Library, and New England Aquarium but as we did those things, we found other interesting things to see and experience. It's a fun city and we always … [Read more...]

This was a must-see on our trip. Ever since our family watched the mini-series about John Adams, we have wanted to see the farms our 2nd president loved so well. We were a little confused when our GPS took us downtown Quincy. We were expecting to be in the country but we followed the signs of the … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday at our house. We have read several books about the Mayflower's journey across the Atlantic and life in colonial Plimoth. Since it was Sunday, we thought we would have church with the Pilgrims but after asking about it at the welcome desk, we found out it's never … [Read more...]

Shark cage diving is something I have longed to do since I was three years old. We got up at 4:30 in the morning to be at the marina by 7:45. We met Captain Vinny, First Mate Eric, our two travel companions, signed papers, and headed to the boat. We settled down on big bean bags for the 1 1/2 … [Read more...]

We were tired of sightseeing but still wanted to do something. Fortunately, we found Nantasket Beach and World's End. It didn't take us long to find Nantasket Beach but we were curious about what was at the end of the peninsula so we kept driving. We found a nice place right at the very end in … [Read more...]

Visiting The Chatham Shark Center (The Atlantic Great White Conservancy) in Chatham, MA was a dream come true. If only my three year old self could have seen me at a place dedicated to the conservation of this amazing animal. It was super duper cool! The exhibits do a great job teaching about sharks … [Read more...]

New York literally had us at hello. From the moment we entered the state until we left, we were in love with its breathtaking beauty. We drove through the Allegheny Plateau, past Chautauqua Lake, and Lake Erie before arriving in Ithaca. Our goal was The Cornell Lab of Ornithology but we soon found … [Read more...]
