Oregon Coast Trip - Oregon Coast Aquarium
Posted by Steve on April 26th, 2008During our trip to the Oregon Coast last month, we made a couple visits to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. (In fact, we actually became aquarium members for the first time.) During our first visit, which happened to be on Easter morning, we got a rare treat:

“Huh?” you ask. Here’s the deal: CNN’s News [...]
Oregon Coast Trip - Yaquina Head Lighthouse
Posted by Steve on April 10th, 2008As I mentioned previously, the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area is one of our favorite places to visit along the Oregon Coast. Located at the north end of Newport, Oregon, Yaquina Head is home to one of the more picturesque lighthouses along the coast, as this set of photos hopefully reveals.
Built in the 1870s, the [...]
Oregon Coast Trip - Coastal Scenery
Posted by Steve on April 7th, 2008As promised, here is the first group of photos from our Oregon Coast trip. The shots in this set were but a few of the ones I took during our recent trip. (Click on the thumbnails to view larger versions of the images in the spiffy new lightbox viewer I just finished integrating into our [...]
