Newport, Rhode Island......I love this town!!!! Today was our 4th time to visit and it just keeps getting better! Lots of good memories including back to 2000 when Mark, Ryan and I were delivering Philip's boat, "Terraphobic" (fear of land) from Boston to Baltimore.
Started the day leaving Dennisport around 8:15 and headed to New Bedford, MA where we toured the whaling museum (New Bedford was the whaling capital of the world) and still a big fishing port. Walked around the downtown historic district checking a few shops and had some good coffee/latte at The Celtic Coffee House - neat old building converted into coffee shop!!! And then off to Middletown, Rhode Island where we parked Daisy at the Meadowlark RV Park. Took off for Newport which is just a few miles away.....had a great lunch on the water at 22 B's on Bowen's Wharf. It was a warm, sunny, very windy day and lots of folks were out and about. Bummer we weren't here one weekend later as the Newport Sail and Power Boat Show (one of the biggest in the country) is happening - Mark would've loved that.
So after lunch, we parted ways....Mark off to check boats and a "few" shops and I was in my glory as Newport is full of neat everything imaginable shops!!! Got a few gifts and then back to Daisy and just enjoying a nice quiet late afternoon/evening reading and doing computer stuff!
Can't believe that by 7:00, it's starting to get dark! Fall is coming very soon....but weather sure feels like summer!

Love Newport too Pat. Have been there a couple of times and just think it is very neat. Love driving by those lovely, old and very BIG houses. Even walked along the shore one time and looked at them from there. Beautiful and LARGE!!!!! JudyB
