Newport

Been home for a few days from our amazing trip to Newport, RI. We stayed in a small cottage with an ocean view. We had nice weather a lttle on the cool side but no humidity! We all went into the water and body surfed. The waves were especially good due to the hurricanes in the Bahamas.



We drove out, 2 whole days in the car, we did survive eachother. We stopped and saw Niagara Falls on the way out and Shipshewanna, an Amish settlement on the way home. We also drove the route back and stopped in Guilford,CT ( Donut Village is no longer )....



The kids really enjoyed the ocean ( shells, crabs, moving water, snack stealing seaguls, diving Cormurants ). We enjoyed some fresh seafood, visited the old Turner homesteads, enjoyed Newport Creamery Ice cream, toured Newport, saw the "Breakers" - Vanderbuilt's summer home, really a fun trip....
