Nope! This is super casual. Wear whatever makes you happy. A ball gown? Go for it ! A t-shirt and jeans? Sounds good! Halloween costume? Sure !
Yes! We have babies, and we love all of our friend’s babies. Kids are welcome, Isla will be hanging out dancing and Ru will probably be making us hold her all night 😂
* MCKAY COTTAGE- Very yummy food, open for breakfast and lunch. Always a little line/wait. Our Fav: any of the French toast options! * SPARROW BAKERY- Sometimes has a line, but very good breakfast sandwiches and baked goods. Our Fav: The Almond Croissant (so amazing). * D&D BAR AND GRILL- Greasy spoon spot.

Tumalo Cider Company is the best! They have a spot for tastings in Tumalo, Oregon (about 15 minutes away), but they’re also sold in most stores around town.
* Winco - No frills, best prices! * Trader Joe’s - Good snack food and good prices. * Newport Avenue Market - A local market that is more of an experience. A little higher of a price point, but fun to walk around. Nice bakery and fun things to check out ! * Disclaimer- avoid “Food For Less”. Their food is, in fact, not being sold for less 😂
