Oregon Zoo Winter
Another fun trip to the zoo, there were a surprising amount of animals out even in the cold weather including Palus (the baby cougar) and the tigers, which we hardly ever see. I've added a couple of videos to the YouTube channel one of Palus playing, and one of the wolf pack howling.

Oregon Zoo - New Cougar Cub
They finally put the new cougar cub on display so we went back to the zoo this weekend specifically to see her, and we stopped by a couple of our other favorite exhibits as well. It was raining, and we got really close to the lions, an orangutan, and an eagle. It was something!

Coast Storm
I surprised her with a trip to the coast during the first big storm of the season. In addition to it being the first big storm it was an extra high tide as well, so there was a lot of wind and wave action. It was pretty awesome. :)

Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum
We visited the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum during their annual fly in. The place is huge, and fill of antiques. Quite incredible, you can spend hours there and still walk away feeling like you didn't see everything.

Coast Trip and Newport, Oregon
We took a trip to the the coast, and stopped to take some pictures of Haceta Head Lighthouse, then we drove north to a favorite little park, Muriel Ponsler Wayside. We then proceeded up the coast to Cooks Chasm, Smelt Sands State Park, and Then we hit Newport, and stopped at Butterfly Adventures, which was amazing. Once we were done there, we went across the street to check out the sea lions.
In addition to the pictures in the album, there is HD video of the sea lions and the butterflies on my YouTube Channel.

Tilamook Forest Center and Cape Lookout Picnic
We had driven past the Tillamook Forest Center several times, mostly when it was closed. This time we decided to stop. It was pretty interesting, with plenty of things to see. Once we were done exploring there, we picked up a picnic lunch and headed to Cape Lookout. Then a nice drive home, stopping at a waterfall.

Tillamook Area Day Trip
We took a day trip to the Tillamook area. We visited the cheese factory (of course!) and then drove out to Cape Meares, we hadn't been down to the lighthouse since the vandalism, so I took some shots of that, then we saw a whale, and I managed to get a shot off before it went back underwater. From there we went down to Oceanside, and up to Barview Jetty park, where we hunted shells. Then we we hit the south end of Seaside to see if there were any surfers, there were, but they were just heading out so we didn't stick around.

Coast Trip
Took a drive to the coast, and went to the Tillamook Cheese Factory as we usually do. Also drove out to Cape Meares, but it was still closed. Remembered the camera this time, but there was nothing noteworthy enough to take a picture of.
