Out of the Fog



We have had some foggy days in Corvallis so it was great to take a trip to the coast. Marilyn has many activities at this time of year with the regular tennis matches and then lunches or dinners with her friends. This meant that we didn’t leave Corvallis until after 10:30 in the morning but were glad to see the fog lifting before we were 20 miles out of town.
We got to Newport just before noon so we stopped by Mo’s for the usual clam chowder and garlic bread before we headed to the aquarium. The sun was out and we left our jackets in the car for our three-hour visit to the aquarium. It was not crowded so I was able to get many pictures without being in other people’s way. A visit to the aquarium is always a great was to relax and is a sure way for me to raise my spirits.
The early sunset meant that we drove home in the dark after having our dinner. So the drive home was not as relaxing and enjoyable but well wroth the time out of the house and valley fog.
Some of my pictures from the day are on my flickr page.
