After our fabulous meal, we felt the need to walk off some of the calories.
.
.
And took a stroll around the waterfront of downtown Bristol.
.
.
Quiet on the off season, I’m sure the marina is full of pleasure craft in the summer.
.
.
Along the edge is the Maritime Center. A one time armory built in 1894, it now houses public restrooms, showers and laundry facilities for boaters as well as a wi-fi lounge and a 4,000 square foot multi use hall displaying local artists.
.
.
Though the marina was people free, the seagulls kept a close eye on us.
.
.
And since we were roughly 20 miles from the wind tunnel that is Newport?
.
.
A smile and a relatively in tact hairdo.
.
.
Should we visit the area again, I would take more time to explore this lovely town.
.
.
And perhaps bring the seagulls a treat.
.
.
The gulls concur.
.
.
As we were leaving I glanced over the side of the pier and saw…
.
.
Eggs?
.
.
They’re actually jellyfish, but tell me that doesn’t look like someone randomly cracked a few eggs in the harbor.
.
.
As we made our way back to the car through the park, my husband made a friend.
.
.
Who was a little reticent at first, but when he realized the strange man could push him higher than his mother?
.
.
Was quickly and happily on board.
