On Saturday, we headed over to the coast for the day and visited the Oregon Coast Aquarium, complete with a sighting of one of my favorite animals, sea otters.
After the aquarium, we headed to Local Ocean Seafoods in Newport for a late lunch. It's right across from the dock where they unload the fresh seafood. Andy really liked the fish tacos and tuna kebobs.
He also enjoyed his Blonde Bombshell beer. I reminded him it would be the only kind of blonde bombshell he would ever have the chance to enjoy. He responded with the obligatory "Yes, dear" and slight eye roll (I can't *really* blame him.)
This sign caught us off guard. I guess we're still not used to living on the coast.
It's dry here and there are fire warnings throughout the state. We're required to water the front lawn but neither one of us think it's a good use of clean water so we don't bother watering the back fenced in area. The only down fall is that Shadow regularly comes in looking like this.
Dry grass anyone? She proceeds to shake it all off ALL over the carpet
(usually right after I've vacuumed). It's a good thing she's so cute.
One last curiosity -- I was out exploring last week and came across this sign in front of an old diner.
I wasn't sure I was reading it correctly when I drove by the first time but pulled off on the way back through and sure enough, Grandma's name was clear on the sign. I imagined her giggling at the sight of it. I love these little out of the blue reminders of loved ones.
They remind you to stop and enjoy the day. :)
