Today we started to go to the Oregon Coast to help out on the Clean the Beach by Solv. However, we got a late start and did not get there until everyone was headed back to the cars. Bummer. There goes the Good Deed for the Day.
We did end up at the Oregon Aquarium where “Free Willy” was held for many years. The pool he was held in is now a Shark tank as well as a native ocean fish tank. Sharks were swiming overhead of us as we went through the tunnel. Elliot and Rachel thought it was totally cool.
The other tank had fish like Rockfish, Lingcod and Hailbut. All things that butter, garlic and herbs go well with. Sorry, when I see fish like that floating past, I get hungary.
The Bear Den is looking to go to the aquarium in the late Spring for an overnight in the Shark Tunnel area. Pretty fun. No tents, no bad weather, just falling to sleep with sharks overhead.
The other Scouting related thing is that my wife is warming up to going to Philmont as a family in 2011. Thinking of taking the “Strictly for Cub Masters” class.
