His Lordship was not on board with us taking another week long trip to Newport, Rhode Island.
.
.
And packing took a bit longer than anticipated….
.
.
But four hours later we checked into a nice resort on the harbor in downtown Newport.
.
.
We really enjoyed our first trip in March and since we didn’t have nearly enough time to see everything I wanted, trip number two happened the week before Memorial Day…. pre heavy tourist infestation.
.
.
We lucked out and got their best condo building. Top floor with balconies on each end, both with water views.
.
.
The drawback of that was a long narrow unit…
.
.
But it was comfortable…
.
.
And we didn’t spend much time there anyway.
.
.
.
.
.
The bathrooms were ample size.
.
.
The kitchen was not.
.
.
But we don’t cook on vacation, so who cares?
.
.
Morning coffee and tea on the balconies with these views wasn’t hard to take.
.
.
.
.
Sunsets at the cocktail hour were pretty sweet as well.
.
.
Stay tuned…

It was a little hard to get out of when wet with my bad knee, but it had a waterfall shower head so at least I didn’t have to climb.

i don’t see them very often but stayed in a house in albuquerque with one made of 1″ square ceramic tiles. I was super careful as i didn’t want to slip.

Now what is the draw to pull out of Maine and hit a Seaport in RI? Better food, drinks or history?

My husband was stationed at the Naval War College years ago… it’s also a beautiful area, full of history.
But basically, we just like to explore.

Newport is a fun place to visit. So much to see and do. We adore our state, but it’s always nice to get away.. and it’s a short drive.

Geese will make a few appearances.
The wind was blowing, but not as powerfully as last time.

I know, it was a bit odd…. but we really enjoyed the first trip and wanted to beat the tourist rush.
