Oct.24 Oregon Coast Aquarium

It was a cool and drizzly day and probably not the best type of weather to take in the aquarium. It was a good experience however, even when we got cold!! There is a beautiful wood carving of turtles in the entry way. They had quite a few displays of hands on things for the kids. There were outdoor displays of the seals, otters and birds. Then they have a tube walkway under the shark tank which was awesome. They also have benches where you can sit and watch the activity. We spent more time indoors (warmer).

Gene & Shirley Schaeffer with Bob at the carving.
Jelly fish, hard to take a picture through the glass and do it justice.
A school of anchovies for you anchovie lovers. They feed these fish to the puffins.
Sea Pen Anemone (ptilosarcus gureyi). They send out the frond from the base and feed on the lichen in the water. If they are disturbed, they retract that frond into the base.
We are in the under tank tube to see this shark swimming by.
Lobster anyone.. They were huge.
How is this for color. It was in one of the saltwater tanks. Nemo was there too, but didn't get a picture of him.

This tank was full of these gorgeous jelly fishes.
Here we are by the jaw of a great white. We certainly enjoyed it here and would recommend it to any age.

I had put a roast in the oven before we went here, so when we got home, dinner was almost ready and did it ever smell good. After dinner we had another round of MT and so far the ladies are winning. Shirley-2, Myrna-1.
