Grandma and Grandpa were recently in town and we went down to Newport, Oregon to enjoy the coast.Aki and Grandpa watching for whales at Cape Perpetua.

One of our favorite activities in Newport was a trip to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. This was a great aquarium featuring marine life from the Oregon Coast.
