It's 11:36 PM, and we need to get up at 2:30 AM so that we can get packed, head out and drive to Boston to the airport, return the rental car, and somehow not fall asleep along the way to catch our early flight home.
This trip has been so fun - oysters, lobstah, beer, friends and their lovely family, and a great little getaway. And we added Rhode Island and Connecticut to our list of states!
Such a fun weekend - one more day...then back to reality.
Much love to everyone!

Fireworks in East Greenwich!
These Rhode Islanders know how to do fireworks right. Right on the beach. 40 feet away. It was frightening. And wicked awesome.
Jon photo bombed. I lit a sparkler and tried not to burn the kids' faces off (or my own), we had a bottle of Sutter Home (I'm not sure how that happened), and we spent an amazing 4th of July weekend with some pretty amazing and kind folks.
Fantastic.

Lunch. More Oysters and Lobster.
I've literally had 4 lobster rolls and a lobster since we got here. And oysters 3 times.
Mansions of Newport
So in Newport there are all these crazy huge mansions, and we visited The Breakers - home of the Vanderbuilts. WOW. It was like Glensheen, the James J. Hill House, and castles in Europe from the 1800s all rolled into one. I mean nutty opulence. But super cool. Choice pics below...
Newport at Night
We headed back to Newport last night after a nap, and had dinner with C&J.
Yes. Another lobster salad sandwich. Shut up. They are amazing.
We then walked down to the harbor - MAN, people have a lot of money. The boats (ships???) there were HUGE. There were a ton of sailboat/cruising boats coming back in around 10pm - they had been out watching the fireworks. It was crazy how they just cruised in, some backward, some forward, and nestled into the dock.
We are headed back to Newport to do the mansions today, then headed back to Coventry for, you guessed it, more lobster!

Mystic, CT
Did a little road trip to Mystic, CT. We can now cross Connecticut off of our state list!!
Did the little Mystic Seaboard - old-timey houses, etc. LOTS of boat-related things...building boats, boat paraphernalia, boats.
It was hot as balls. HOT. AS. BALLS. But if we were on the water it would have been perfect.
