Tide Pools and Sea Lions

Two weekends ago we took a drive out to the coast to see the California Sea Lions that had moved north to cooler waters. Along the way we stopped in Newport at the Rogue Brewery. This has long been one of Justin's favorite breweries and he has been wanting to visit since the first time we came to Portland. After lunch and a few tastings we continued south along the Pacific Coast Highway. Before getting to the sea lion caves, we wanted to stop at a beach. After Justin missed the first 4 or 5 state parks, we finally found Seal Rock Park and pulled in. Somehow we picked the right beach with amazing tide pools due to the low tide. We spent time exploring the beach and finding all kinds of creatures. It was so neat to see the anemones and starfish so close up. We finally ended our trip at the Sea Lion Caves.
