It was really crowded and busy, but we were lucky to somehow find a parking spot. So we parked and took a walk down the street of the cute little downtown area.
We stopped for a bite to eat. The food wasn't too good, but the company was excellent.
After we ate we did a little shopping. We got Max some nice flip flops for next summer at 50% off. We looked in a lot of cute store windows.
Then we walked down a pier and got a fun view of the water and a lot of boats. We could also see the huge cruise ships parked out in the water that kept vomiting old people in fanny packs out into the town.
We took a few pictures. Of us, not of the old people or the cruise ships.
After that we went back to the car and took the car along the lovely ocean drive so we could see all the big beautiful mansions. It was such a pretty day with lots of sunshine.
There's a stretch of Ocean drive that has park on one side of the road and ocean on the other. As we drove up to it we saw some crazy stuff flying in the air. We stopped to investigate.
It was a flying octopus thing. Attached to this beautiful kite.
Cool, huh? There were lots of beautiful kites flying.
And.....that's the end of part 1. So watch for part 2!

Right on! Eliot has the same shirt as Max.
Did I read something wrong or did you say the boats were vomiting old people? If so, that is a very funny description of old tourists.
Every time we went to Newport, even in the middle of summer, it has been cold. Glad you got to enjoy the nice day there.
I really like that family pic!
Yes the family picture of you guys if so cute. There were several actually and they are all nice. Can't say much for the old grandma though. She you pick her up off of the cruise ship?
Oh my goodness! I am laughing so hard! That comment about vomiting old people with fanny packs! Oh that is classic! I don't need to even be there and I can see it perfectly!
Hmmm, I really do use exclamation marks a lot don't I? But HEY, at least I didn't write in all caps.....wait a sec....ya I did.....shoulda kept my mouth shut.
I LOVE kites. I need to come to this beach. How fun! Great picture of your cute little family. Sounds like a fun time!
