Rhode Island


Well, our photo op day on the Cape was a total bust! It rained all day yesterday. I drove all of us out to Provincetown in the off chance there was some sun but it was raining out there too. So I have no photos from the Cape except this one of Veronica. We came across this tree as we were driving up to a souvenir shop.


Today we hit the road early and made it to Newport, Rhode Island by about 7am. We ate a great breakfast, walked down to the water to look at the boats and then started our tour of the "cottages" along Belleview Rd. I would love to live in one of these, even for a week!! They are unbelievably gorgeous! We met up with Mom's cousin Virginia at Marblehouse and then we took a scenic drive down Ocean to meet Virginia's daughter Patricia for lunch.







All the ironwork was beautiful. I took so many photos of gates and fencing!


The same is true for the hydrangeas. I wish we could grow such big, lush bushes back home!


Here is mom with Patricia and Virginia at lunch.


AJ saw this car out front and wanted a photo with it! He informed me that he would be driving a car like this within 10 years...


This artist lives in Connecticut and I thought it would be fun to take a photo of with her of what she was painting!


This is one of the Newport beaches.

We made it into Providence about 4pm. The kids were really tired so we did a driving tour for the most part and I jumped in and out of the car to take photos.
