Ratatat 'Seventeen Years' Music Video

The theme today is SEVENTEEN because I only have 17 more days of work before my summer vacation starts. I'll be counting them down every work day until then. Hope you enjoy this little video.

I am trying to think of things to do this summer. Here is a list that I have so far:

Hike the Eagle Creek Trail (Part of the Pacific Crest Trail)

Fish, fish, fish, fish, fish.

Take a fittness class.

Read books that are not for my job!

Go back to the coast and walk the beach as the sun rises.

Walk the beach as the sun sets.

Find a ride to California for a few weeks.

Climb Dog Mountain.

Got any suggestions?

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Want to cuss me out cause I have the summer off and you don't? (Feel free. It'll just make me giggle.)

I thought it was very nice of them to welcome me in such a personal way. ha.
This is the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, Oregon. I decided that you might enjoy the photos from here... and well, I took a ton of them. Many are too awful to show off, but some aren't too bad. I hope you enjoy them. It was a fun place to visit. I just wish the sea otter had been more cooperative. He is my favorite of all of the sea beings. The seals moved to fast for my camera to capture. Sorry about that. They were fun to watch. An intelligent person would have written down the names of the fish, etc. That would not be me. You'll have to guess. As always, if you click on them, you can see the details. :)
The funny looking sand/ camo things are rays that you can pet. They feel rough and slimy at the same time. An odd feeling. The wild thing is a lion fish. You can see them at any pet shop of quality. There is a cuddle fish looking shy. Sea horses are in with the neat pointy crusty thing that I can't recall it's name. The last fish glows in the dark. And well, this crab made it clear that it did not care for me at all. The feeling was somewhat mutual. They are like giant sea spiders... super ick.
