24 hours in Newport

Newport, Oregon 3:00 PM Saturday to 3:00 PM Sunday. Ever since J's birthday party, when he adopted a wolf eel from the Newport aquarium, he has been begging to go. So we spent Saturday night in Newport with the Brauns, a quick end of summer trip for us and a before baby trip for the Brauns.

We stayed at this great inn on the beach, but the kids could have cared less about the view. They wanted to jump on the beds!

We went to see the tide pools below the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, my favoite part of the trip because it provided many photo oportunities. And of course we went to the aquarium.

When we got to the aquarium and began searching for the wolf eel, we discovered there wasn't just one--there were several adults and a slithering mass of young-uns, so we're not really sure WHICH ONE J adopted. It didn't really matter because he became obsessed with the giant octopus anyway.

The kids seemed to have a great time hanging out together. I have a few pictures of the babies, uh, I mean two-year-olds, H and G, exploring together. Click on the web album link to see the whole photo story of the weekend.
