The Oregon Coast Aquarium

We took a trip to the Oregon Coast Aquarium while in Oregon. Ben and I hadn't been there since our honeymoon twelve years ago. Jakob really enjoyed it...the little boys were less than interested, but it was a really fun day.
This seal stayed and played thru the glass with Jakob for a few minutes.


How Scary!!!

This is a tube that you can get in to have the fish swim all around you. Erin's dad and Jakob really liked it.

There is walkways that go thru glass tunnels. This was a shark that swam right over us. The previous week, this tunnel had been leaking...good thing we didn't visit that day...we could have been shark bait.

A look into one of the three tunnel walkways.

I cannot for the life of me remember what these fish are called, but they swim sideways and their eyes are only on one side of their body. Kinda creepy.

Erin is obsessed with jellyfish, especially after watching the movie Seven Pounds. We did learn that jellyfish are not actually living. They have no heart or brain, they are just made up of thousands of microorganisms.
