Valentines Day Weekend



On Valentines Weekend, Ben and I went to Newport and spent the night just the 2 of us. We went to the Aquarium there and also walked on Yaquina Bay. We had a great time together and enjoyed the beauty that is so close to us. Here are some pictures of the things we saw.

I love the top picture of Ben and the huge shark teeth, I thought it was great!!





Above is Spider Crabs, they live in the bottom of the ocean near China and can live to be 100 years old with a 13 foot leg span...Crazy huh??

Above again is a picture of a horned cow fish...Briggs loved the picture of this crazy thing.

These pictures are taken from the sights of Yaquina Bay. The top one is one of the rock quarries out to the ocean. It was beautiful. We walked out on the one on the right until it got to close to the ocean then we turned back. It was such a gorgeous day.

And the bottom one is of the bridge we drove over to go to the aquarium. It is amazing. We had such a wonderful weekend!! I love my husband.
