Breakfast with the Sharks

Father's Day present from Bonnie: Breakfast with the Sharks in the private viewing room at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. We left home at 5:30 am to get there on time but it was worth it. A great breakfast and discussion, then hand feeding of the sharks just outside our viewing window (not the one in this photo- we were at a large picture window off to the left in the photo).

Fact: sharks in the tank get fed 5 times per week, which is too much, they claim. These sharks get fat and lazy. Sharks in the wild eat less often and exhibit a more agressive behavior.

After breakfast we cruised down the coast taking in the sights until we got to Reedsport where we bought some flowers for the family cemetery plots, then we followed the Umpqua river up to Coles Valley where my father, mother, and brother are buried.

Happy father's day Lee Anderson!

  1. Hey! I remember this place, we went with my group during my holiday in Eugene, we have visited it instead of doing a trip in the dune with the group.
