Vacation Disappointment

One thing I was hoping for on our vacation to the Pacific Northwest was to see some really big banana slugs (Ariolimax columbianus).
Alas, it didn't happen.

The night we got to Washington, we got to see this guy.

Another day, Jeremy's mom moved a slug off the patio.

At the Pacific Science Center we saw some banana slugs behind glass, but they were disappointingly small.

And we saw a European garden slug (Arion ater) on my parents' walkway in Oregon another night. All were better than the non-slugs we have in Utah, but I was still disappointed. I guess it goes along with not getting rain while we were on vacation.
