Whale

On Monday a 65 foot Fin Whale washed up on the beach in Ocean City, NJ. It is suspected that it was hit by a freighter in the shipping lanes and had been dead for over a week. Jackson and I saw it on the news and he wanted to go see it. So we did. Jackson was decked out in head to toe explorer gear. We played hookie from school for a few hours and drove the 30 miles north to have a look. Jackson said, "I can't believe I saw a real live dead whale." Sawyer was less impressed.
