Great trip to the OR Coast

Girls Trip to the coast...
We found the parking angel we are always talking about....
and to think she was at Nye Beach in Newport all this time. We really think that she is wonderful.
Me at the top of the path to the beach. 
gram and mom on the beach. 
these are Jelly fish... 
Two different kinds. They were in the aquarium in Newport. 
They are truly beautiful swimming around there.
This is how they look on the sand at the beach.
They range in size from the size of
a shooter marble to this and on up. 
The ranger said that the little ones are more lethal than the big ones... 
We saw lots of wonderful things in the tide pools on the beach in the am.
The anemones are so beautiful. We touched them. The ranger said, "when he was young they had a anemone licking club. I can't imagine what they were thinking. He said that they too are poisonous and they would make their tongues numb. WOW, the thought of licking one never even crossed my mind... I however am not a little boy. Good to know what enters their minds.   
This is one of the many starfish we saw on the beach. They were clinging onto the rocks near the tide pools. They too are beautiful. They feel like you are touching a persons hand where they have no bumps. 
This is one of the sea lions at the aquarium swimming in the water.  
These are the bay boys... they hang out at the Newport bay where the boats come in.
The difference between a seal and a sea lion is the sea lion has ears and the seal has spots. 
They were really fun to watch. 

These are some of the wonderful sunsets we saw. 




We enjoyed each-others company and we had a terrific trip.
