September 20th

We have been pretty busy the last two days so here goes with what happened on Day 5 of our trip.
We started of with a short walk to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, it was about 2 blocks from the park so this made it easy for ride sharing.

We got here at 10:00 AM and the line was way out to the parking lot, Jim & Cherrill went inside and next thing we know we are all walking in and seeing what is here.

Here we are just before we head inside.

 There are a lot of displays here and the camera was not working very good so only got a few pictures.  I would recommend this place for any family to enjoy.

 There are a lot of different displays here we really enjoyed it.

 Even got to see a Puffin.

The weather was great and we got to watch them feed the Seals, and Otters.
At 1:00 PM we headed over to the Hatfield Marine Science Center.

This was a neat little Science Center, there were a lot of displays and things that you could interact with.

 As you can see Jeff is waiting for his turn at this display.

 We were waiting for a talk and guess what, the computer would not work right so after 20 minutes we found out the guy could not do his talk.

Jeff was enjoying the time and got 20 winks.
Today we head out  to Florence, OR it was a long drive day.  The wagon-master left at 10:00 and we headed out at 11:00 AM, everyone was out of the park by 11:00 AM.  It was a long 48 mile drive through some of the best roads here on 101, there are a lot more to come and we are looking forward to the drives down the coast.  Tomorrow we are heading back up towards Heceta Head Lighthouse and then on to the Seal Lions Caves.
