I put off making this post, but only because I just didn't feel like sitting down and doing it. I'm finding that to be my mood a lot lately....I definitely would diagnose myself with senior-itis. BIG TIME! Hopefully I'll be able to kick this laziness before grad school starts on June 25th (eek!).
Anyway, I had the pleasure of taking a trip with Archer and Britt to Newport, OR on the 21st. While the weather wasn't cooperative for going to the beach like we had hoped, we were able to visit the Oregon Coast Aquarium. We also got a special behind-the-scenes look at the aquarium thanks to a good friend of Andrew's, Warren (hopefully I spelled that right). Be prepared for a lot of photos, courtesy of Britt, because my camera is not as amazing as hers. As she constantly kept saying at the aquarium, "I LOVE my camera!".
The ones below weren't taken at the aquarium, but at a shop that had just about anything you could think of.
And finally some lovely shots of Newport. Even though it was rainy, windy, and cold, it was still beautiful to look at.
After the drive back to Corvallis, we stopped at Block 15 to get a very late lunch. We were all starving by the time we got here.
And the food was delicious! I had a Grilled Turkey and Cheddar Cheese Sandwich with some Garlic Parmesan Fries. I think the fries are the best thing about Block 15, hands down.
I'm finding that with my time in Corvallis drawing to a close, I've been starting to check stuff off my list that I've always wanted to do since I've been up here: Drive to the coast, check out the Farmer's Market, and in about a week, hang out in Portland. I'm having a blast, and it's an added bonus when I get to spend time with my family.
