That is I-84 down there, so you can see how high up we were. We also had the best cup of coffee I have had in a long time while we were there. Hood River Coffee...really good!
We finally got to Newport and we were in awe with the ocean. It was cloudy most days that we were there but we got some sun, hail, and a lot of wind.
While we were there we went to the aquarium and that was a lot of fun. We got to see sea lions getting fed and they reminded me of giant dogs without legs (we missed Winky and Lola).
Here is Lionel being silly but seriously he is deathly afraid of sharks so this is as close as he will ever get to a shark.
We thought the name of the place and the slogan was pretty cool!
We also visited the Yaquina Head Lighthouse and went all the way to the top. We had to climb 100+ stairs to go see the light bulb that they use. I was surprised at how small it was but it you can see it at least 10 miles away.
