Pick #2 See the Whales
The whales have recently returned from their winter vacation and are hungry! Spring trips offer great opportunities to see the whales feeding….which, if you’ve never had the chance to witness it, is not to be missed!!

Pick #3 Myopia Polo
The new season of Sunday Polo Matches kicks off this weekend. It is a really a great way to spend an afternoon. Get there when the gates open (1:30, I believe) get field side parking, spread out a great picnic, and let the kiddos see the horses being cared for and getting ready.

Good Morning Gloucester 
I haven’t been to a polo match at Myopia Hunt Club in years. Great fun and very exciting to watch.

Excellent Picks and Homie on the whales is pretty brave for sure! The one pushing the sod down reminds me of my first time playing golf in Colorado Springs Peterson AFB course 1986-1989 time frame, you could say I took up a lot of real estate! Thankfully I had my fishing pole and went fishing in the pond much better at catching rainbow trout, crappy, blue gill…Dave 🙂
