Newport, Oregon

We took a little day trip to Newport on the Oregon Coast recently. The sea lions were trying to get an afternoon nap in while lying on some floating concrete pads. But there wasn't enough room for all of them and several were trying to jump aboard and find a space to join in on the nap. But each time one would try, the sea lions who already had a cozy spot would bark up a storm. It was quite noisy. Definitely hard to get a nap during all that ruckus. Then we headed to a park near Nye Beach. The super-long slide coming off of a pretend ship was a favorite!
