Sherri made a trip out to Connecticut to visit her good friend Michelle Miller Kobayashi.  At the time Michelle was pregnant with their (Michelle & Ky's) first child.  Sherri had a great time relaxing and touring the northeast, laying on the beaches in June and seeing Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod and other great sites.
	One of the highlights of the trip was taking a boat out into the ocean to chase and scare whales.  Just kidding, sick, I know.  Actually the boat had several scientists who were actively studying the whales and answered questions about each one they observed swimming near the boat.
Sherri couldn't find the button in time and only got the 'tail-end' of the whale experience.  This one's name was 'bashful' or was it 'big fish in small pond'.  Anyway, Sherri was not impressed with how the scientists had let the whales become run down and in need of repair as evidenced by the paint chipping off their tail fins.
