Coastin' 3: Dream Warriors
Here's the final photo set of the trip.
We started the day with another attempt to fly Phil's kite (1 2). Once again, not so much flying as getting it airborne and then winding the string back up half a minute later. Oh well.
After packing and leaving the hotel, but before arriving at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Dina, Phil and I detoured to the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse. It's not as photogenic as the one at Yaquina Head, but the parking lot has nice views of the Yaquina Bay bridge and jetty. Here's Phil at the bridge.
About halfway through our visit to the aquarium the focus decided to go out on my digital camera. A reboot fixed it, but I neglected to go back and re-shoot the jellyfish. What I have looks like this:
After that it was back in the car, down to dinner in Florence, and up the winding highways to home. A good weekend. Thanks to Grammy & Poppa for making it possible.

- Phil and Crab
- There was also a "Dance Like a Crustacean" exhibit near the crabs: 1 2 3 4
(I'll give someone a dollar to fix the kerning in the DLaC signage; see photo 1) - Phil and Mantis Shrimp
- Many fascinating shots of three species of jellyfish would go here, but, alas...
- The Obligatory "Giant Shark" Teeth Picture
- Who's in that Diving Helmet?
- Who else?
- Mother and Son at the Sea Otters
- Phil, the Crafty Otter
