Next Stop: Maui, Hawaii

Ben's Next Stop Is Maui, Hawaii!
In February I went to Maui with my grandparents Nonna Jeanne and Grandpa Ed, my mom and my little brother. It was my first time there.
                                                               Here is a map of  Maui

This was one of my favorite trips I have ever been on. I got to do a lot of fun things there. One of my favorite things was going on a boat and seeing many whales.

The boats aren't allowed to get too close, but you can see three spouts and the back of a whale here. 

Even back at the condo I could see some whales. We stayed at Papakea Resort and I watched the whales through binoculars.

Another thing I learned to do was blow a conch shell, they are kind of hard to blow but after a while I got the hang of it. We do that every day at sundown to say goodbye to the sun. They have been doing that for many years.

I learned how to blow a conch shell at sunset

Another thing I enjoyed doing was playing at the beach   nearby my condo . My mom got me an underwater camera to take pictures of things I found in the cove. I found a lot of interesting things.

One of my other favorite things was going to the aquarium , I had a lot of fun. We got to have lunch there, and I saw fish and sea turtles, I also saw a statue of a whales body and body parts.

Also when I was there, I went to a Whale museum and I learned a lot about whales.

I also saw how people would hunt whales back then.

But at the end of the trip we had to leave and I was sad after my fun trip. Although I had a fun time there.
