Newport Aquarium Visit

We went to see Jeff Dunham in Portland Friday night - hilarious! We then drove to Lincoln City (at night, in the rain - yeck) and visited the aquarium in Newport on Saturday. Here are a couple shots (straight out of the camera). I drove the guys nuts taking photos but was so excited to actually get some good shots - lots of futzing with the controls for the manual shots (lighting changes constantly between exhibits - but I'm faster than I was a few months ago).

We saw Charlie Daniels Band at the Chinook Winds Casino on Saturday night. Probably one of the best concerts I have ever attended. The musicians were just awesome, the songs great and wow that fiddling! Bill was able to name one of the pieces they played - An American Footprint and he gave Mr. Daniels An American Footprint jacket! We all enjoyed our weekend. William drove most of the time and made the drive from Lincoln City back to Astoria (rain and all those curves) - he did an excellent job. His full color learner's permit arrived in the mail last night - he is quite happy!

Hey, you did good on manual mode...those are nice shots! That fish pic is awesome! I haven't tried taking pics inside an aquarium yet, it sounds a bit challenging, but it would be fun to give it a try. Looks like your family had a good time and sounds like your son is getting lots of driving practice....I bet he likes that!

Great photos! I'm so jealous you got to go see Jeff Dunham. He is so funny. Especially his dummy...Walter! Love it!
