East Matunuck, RI

Tuesday morning, we decided to spend some time at the beach, read and relax a bit.

We took time to smell the flowers...
We sat in the sand... Looked at the ocean...
Tried to keep the birds away from our food...
watched kids play...
read and read some more...

These were taken way early in the morning as we went for a walk. The sun was slowly getting up and it was so beautiful!

Newport

After walking for about 2 miles on the cliffs of Newport - we decided to explore this beautiful city as there was so many beautiful things to see!

Not sure what this was - it was in the middle of a park with no signs or explanations!



The International Tennis Hall of Fame - didn't visit the exhibit but wish there had been a match going on when we passed by!
Beautiful old church


I'm glad this guy brought the tomato to us!!!



Massive old doors!!


Would love to live in this old house!

Wonder what is he thinking?!




The beautiful State House



The oldest tavern in America - was not open (too early in the morning!!)

Cliff Walk - Newport

Sunday morning, got up early (what's new!!!) and decided to go visit Newport, about a 1/2 drive from our little camp. It was very foggy and humid, but managed to walk about 1/2 the cliff walk (which is about 3 1/2 miles long). It is a beautiful walk as on one side you get to see huge beautiful properties and on the other side you have the sea.
