Newport Weekend

28 04 2008

This past Thursday and Friday we had a great opportunity to hang out in Newport R.I. What a beautiful place, covered with multi million dollar mansions, cliff walk countryside and of course the ocean. My wife and I rented out a bed and breakfast in Downtown Newport and we did what love to do on VACA: Explore!

-Stopped in Providence on the way down (which is also beautiful) and lucky to find out we got a parking ticket, the metered parking system in Providence is so messed up; which is not a beautiful thing. Don’t you pay for the meter that is beside your car? Ok thought so.

-Our Bed and Breakfast was the best, we arrived and were greeted by possibly the nicest people ever (the owners). Great stay!

-Got a clam sandwich for lunch and had calamari for an appetizer, its must on vacations located near the ocean to throw down as much seafood as possible, and we did

-Explored the infamous cliff walk

-Drove down ocean drive 5 or 6 times during our stay

Threw down unlimited crab legs at Flo’s clam shack, only 12 bucks (This was one of those places all the locals go to, no fancy shmancy stuff, straight to the business of good eating)

-Walked through the Marble house (our future house), one of the gi-normous mansions from the 1800’s

-We relaxed and just had a great time enjoying a short couple day trip. Newport was great we will be back soon.

-Weekend wrap up coming up!
