Yesterday, Steph, Patti and I went up to Newport, RI for the day and it was one of the best days so far this summer! Being lovers of meats, we stopped for lunch at a bar/resturaunt called the Candy Store as soon as we got there. From there we stopped in a few stores, and headed to Belleview Avenue to check out the mansions. We stopped at The Elms but skipped the tour, and rolled around in the backyard for a while. From there we drove by a few more mansions before we stopped at the Isaac Bell House for a tour, which is one of the best surviving examples of shingle style architecture in the country. From there we tried some beer for the beach, but failed, so we grabbed some bottled root beer instead and hung out on Goosebury Beach, relaxing on the sand and climbing on the rocks. After an hour or two at the beach we headed back to downtown Newport and watched the sunset from one of the docks, then grabbed a couple drinks from a nearby bar before heading back to Goosebury Beach for one more hour. On the way back Steph and Patti had fallen asleep, so I ended up getting lost and we didn't make it back until 3 in the morning. I guess at one point I had started to go a little too fast because a cop came racing up from behind me and pulled me over for speeding. Fortunately, he let me off with a verbal warning and my clean record of no speeding tickets continues.
