Oregon Coast Day Three: Oregon Coast Aquarium

If you thought today was already full, we had been seeing the billboards for the Sea Punk exhibit since the drive into town and what can I say, they got us.

It was a very cute little presentation, we even learned something new, like that Sea Otters have pockets in their armpits!
