Flip is worried about Sharon and Jim being bigger than the Yaquina Bay Bridge. Perspective and distance-guaging are not his things.

The much anticipated night at Tidal Raves in Depoe Bay. The view was obscured Sunday night, but the meal was so worth it. We all can’t recommend this enough. All the appetizers, meals, drinks, and desserts were exceptional, but make reservations, regardless the day.
