Rhode Island

We can now say we have officially been to Rhode Island.  We did a lot more today than simply drove through the state.  We went to the Cliff Walk in New Port and had some beach time at Easton Beach.  It was a great way to spend an afternoon.  We had originally planned to go to Mystic Seaport in Connecticut, but we have been to that state twice before.  Hailey was determined to do something in Rhode Island, so we did.

The Cliff Walk was very nice.  The views were beautiful and the walk was not bad at all.  Even though it was warm out, the breeze from the water cooled us off.  Someone on the rocks caught a small shark while we were there.  We got frozen lemonade on our walk back which was a yummy way to cool off.

 After that we went to the beach that was right next to the Cliff Walk entrance.  The beach was very nice; it had a maroon/purple coloring to it from the lichen that is in it.  We were able to watch part of the lifeguard relay that was part of the invitational games that were going on.  By 5pm, it started to thunder so we went back to the camper and took showers and had a bite to eat before hitting the road again.

Now we are at a truck stop in Connecticut for the evening.  We just finished eating Chinese food, and the girls are being slap happy.  Doug and I plan to go to bed soon.  We have about a two hour drive to tomorrows destination. It’s sad to think that we are nearing the end of this year’s epic adventure.
