Spring Break 2009

Dear Readers,

This week is spring break for Washington State University and for the preschool I work at, so Colby and I went on a much needed vacation to the Oregon Coast. Amazing. Let's break this down. We drove from Pullman, WA - long drive, but beautiful.

We arrived in Newport, OR around 5:30 p.m and the view from our room was SO gorgeous, we had a 180 degree view of the ocean from our room. We went to sleep to the sound of the ocean and woke up to the sound of the seagulls. When we woke up we went to Yaquina lighthouse and went all the way to the top to look out over the ocean. Then we made our way down to the beach to visit the tide pools and it was amazing! We were able to touch starfish and sea anemones and stood about 50 feet from sea lions. Then we made our way down to the Oregon State Aquarium where I got to pet sharks and sting rays- A huge deal for me because if you weren't aware, I'm extremely afraid of fish...fish with teeth to be more exact.

We had a fantastic time! If you haven't been to the Oregon coast definitely GO!
