We've been on vacation


We had a wonderful vacation. We drove out to the Oregon Coast to meet some special TC friends. The coast is just breathtaking...
We saw alot of the ocean which I just love.



This is a picture of Devil's Punchbowl. It's a cave that was formed when the ceilings of two caves caved in forming one big cave. The ocean waves come crashing in two entrances.


We saw wonderful things. Here is a pic of the Columbia River Gourge...

We stopped at The University of Oregon's Marine and Science Center. Angela got to touch sea urchines, sea anemones, and star fishes. They also have an octopus that you can stick your hand in his tank and let him feel you. But he was asleep and they DO NOT wake up a sleeping octopus!

We also stopped at Sea lion Caves. But there was too many steps for Angela to go down so we stayed at the top and tried to see the sea lions. If you look real close you can see a brown dot...that is a sea lion.



One day of travel we saw the elk grazing along the roadside. They are Roosevelt Elk at Dean Creek which is a refuge near Reedsport. Alot of cars stopped along the roadside to take pictures and just to watch.
