Rhode Island!

Yesterday we decided to go on a little day trip after church over to Rhode Island. It was fun and BEAUTIFUL! We drove into Newport and they have fun streets that will need exploring next time we go, it smelled amazing there like yummy fish and fresh ocean. First we headed to the "Cliff Walk" which is a sidewalk on the side of the ocean cliffs and it walks right past all these old (turn of the century) mansions that were built as summer homes. They were incredible. Here's the ocean side of one of them:

John posing for a pic, i think he's cute, Everyone was worried for his safety up there but i know he's got the balance of a gymnast.


The ocean, it was beautiful!



This one is John touching the ocean, don't worry, he splashed some up on me so i could touch it too, such a sweetheart!
After the Cliff Walk we drove down Ocean Drive, i guess its the same road that's in the movie "Dan in Real Life". The one he drives down on his way to the cabin thing. Kinda cool and super pretty! More mansions with beautiful views.
After our exploring we were invited to our friends grandparents house for dinner. They were so sweet and hospitable! We had fun, this is there awesome huge deck and the next picture is the view from the deck.



It was so much fun to be someplace so beautiful! The water is a salt-water river that empties into the ocean, it was so pretty and perfect weather. Not too hot, and not too cold. We'll for sure have to go back though, we didn't a chance to try any seafood by the ocean.... next time!
