On February 14, 2009, we went to Ripley's Believe it or not in Newport, Oregon. I've been to a Ripley's before and this is not the best one, but was still interesting. The harp pictured here was cool because it would play based on where you placed your fingers. There are no strings at all. This was interesting to see, but could be missed for more entertaining things.

Sightseeing: Undersea Gardens in Newport
Sightseeing: Wax Works in Newport
On February 14, 2009, we decided to take a trip down to the historic section of Newport, Oregon. While we were there, we decided to go through Wax Works to see the realistic looking wax figures. I've never been to a wax museum before so I was curious to try it. It was interesting and I learned a few things. The wax museum does not take too long, so definitely enjoy your time while you are there. There is a really cool wax figure of Johnny Depp. I was surprised how realistic he looked. Just as I tried to get a picture of him, my camera died. Figures. I think this is worth trying once. I would never pay to do this again though.
Restaurant: Georgie's Beachside Grill in Newport
Restaurant: Mazatlan in Newport
On February 13, 2009, I went to Mazatlan in Newport, OR. This restaurant was good food, but the staff was not as attentive. We had eaten our chips and drank our water before the waitress walked by and I had to ask for more. Granted, the restaurant was busy, but the staff should be prepared for this. I ordered Chicken ala Crema and would have to say it was one of the best versions that I have ever had. The food was good. Another note, there are two doors into the restaurant. The side door is often overlooked by the staff, so it is better to go through the front door. I think the side door is there for purposes of an emergency exit. This restaurant is good for a casual, yummy bite to eat. Because of the food, I would give this restaurant a 3 out of 5.
