We were hungry so we had a bite of lunch before we toured the Aquarium. I snapped this shot of Deb... she is soooo cute!Then it was off to see the sea creatures...
First stop... the "touching pool". This is one of Deb's favorite things because you can touch everything and there is such a variety... from soft and squishy, to hard and prickly. I like the pool because of the kaleidescope of colors... a photographer's dream. 
These jelly fish are so amazing... they are almost hypnotizing to watch... they are so delicate and intricate...
It is hard to believe that they are 98 percent water and they have no brain (so they claim... but I don't believe it... every creature has intelligence).
These tiny guys are a different brand... but just as pretty.
Speaking of little guys, I think I ate one of his brothers for dinner tonight!
But I would rather have eaten one of these monsters... A Japanese Spider Crab... That is not a tiny fish swimming in front of it!
These stars were just hanging around... they looked like they had faces.
Speaking of faces... here is that cute kid again!
After leaving the Aquarium, we drove back across the Newport Bay Bridge and down to the Yaquina Lighthouse. This is the view of the bridge as the sun was setting taken from the road on the north side of the harbor jetty going out to the lighthouse.
This is the lighthouse sitting up on the hill.
A fishing boat was coming back in across the bar after a day at sea...
There was a beautiful sunset as the skies began to clear after a day of rainy weather.
Another view of the sunset...
After watching the sunset, we ate Dinner at Georgie's Grill (one of our favorite places in Newport... the best clam chowder on the Oregon Coast... Yes, way better than Mo's), and the we headed back to the hotel to relax for the evening.
