Oregon Coast Aquarium

We had to go on one more fun day trip before we left Oregon.  Our kids love the beach, even though it's usually quite cold, so we went to the Oregon coast and visited a really cool aquarium.  Above we're eating our lunch outside in the sun.

 They had a lot of cool outdoor exhibits and fun things for the kids to play with.  They liked standing in the shark's mouth with dad and walking through a tunnel made of glass so you could see sharks swimming all around you as you walked through - it was quite a sight.

 After the aquarium, we stopped by the beach on the way home. The water was really cold, but the kids still had a blast building sand castles.

 And Ellie enjoyed eating the sand.
