And finally our vacation was over.

Day 8 dawned bright, and as I looked out the window of our condo… windy. No surprise there.

.

.

We said goodbye to Narragansett Bay.

.

.

And a decent enough resort.

.

.

Heading out of Newport, we saw a T Rex selling Girl Scout cookies and had to stop.

.

.

These young ladies were doing a brisk business and we purchased 4 boxes in a drive through line. Very efficient.

.

.

Did I mention there are windmills in Newport?

.

.

Like, everywhere?

With the constant wind I can’t blame them. but it was odd seeing them randomly dominate the skyline.

.

.

In Providence this fellow didn’t seem pleased with the time.

.

.

In Massachusetts?

A very well marked curve.

.

.

Clearly the clientele of this McDonalds outside of Boston are somewhat… questionable.

.

.

Twin bridges somewhere along the way.

And in a mere 4 hours we were home, having greatly enjoyed our time away.

My husband’s birthday fell during our trip and while my surprise Antique Roadshow thing didn’t work out.. ( the rat bastards )…he still had a nice day.

.

.

I thought this guy looked a little like His Lordship.

.

.

Gift #2? A pair of night vision binoculars for critter spotting in the dark.

.

.

Gift #3? A package of stickers that made him groan.

.

.

Gift #4? A lighted coin microscope for closer examination of his collection … which he broke on day one.
