MovieStars

I will be offering my autograph to those who ask for it in the near future.

Last night we were lucky enough to be an involved in an exciting music video, my first ever visit into Fenway Park. An experience I won't forget, we shuffled up at 11pm to start and crowded with the many REDsoxx and Brian Evan fans to be apart for this opportunity.
"Brian Evans, the Boston singer-songwriter behind the Frank Sinatra-esque tune “At Fenway,” is shooting a video at the historic ballpark Tuesday, September 25, and the public is invited to attend and possibly be part of the project."
Yes I was there until the early hours of the morning, but yes I did get to experience something I would probably not get the chance to in the future.  Truly an amazing night/morning, plenty of chips and coffee kept us going along with the highlights of seeing William Shatner and Brian Evans hit some balls in the large 'grassy' holding.    I am hoping that they have an amazing shot of myself cheering or booing at the scenes, but as long as I know Im there, and got to experience that night- I'm quite content with the 'bragging cred'.

BellyFLOP

Splish, Splash SPLOSH.
Wow.



Myself and Molly took the Harbour Island Whale Watching cruise with BHC -BostonHarborCruises- during a lovely long summery day.
Luckily our tour ended up being 12noon until 5pm. I was delighted at this fact, as the mighty $35 ticket to go on the cruise was stretched out another two hours than what they estimate it will take.  I'm sure some families did not plan on being on the boat for this long, but for me I was in my total element.  

We viewed 7 humb back whales in their natural environment just off the coast, deep diving for their lunch, which consisted of a few tonne of fishes. It took some exploring to find them, as ofcourse you cant just easily throw a bone and watch them come skipping to you.  We were lucky enough to see a whale jump out of the water and do a whirl flip to deep dive back down to the sea.  Everyone was in awe, complete astonishment. Even the tour guide had mentioned how lucky our group had been to witness this, as it does not happen on every guide. (even if this wasnt true, and it happens every day- we or atleast I felt extremely lucky and special just to be out here in the open breeze watching these lovely creatures)

On the way home offcourse, all sane human beings were inside deck, with coffee and cosiness.We got to lie out on the front deck of the boat, alone myself and Molly- and the sea.(and the wonderfully wicked whistling wind) It was such a nice breether from our work routines and enjoying the weekend sun!
I enjoyed my day out with Molly crusing the big waves finding these massive natural animals having a whale of a time (excuse the pun) getting on with there lifes. I would recommend it to any one!  But please remember, a jumper (it does get cold when you are going very fast on the boat), sun screen (your outside ALL day), camera AND batteries, and a very POSITIVE outlook at these are natural animals, so if you dont see them on your first guide- you are allowed another chance to go at another date for free.

HAPPY WHALING!
