Newport.. here we come!



Jeff and I love going to Newport to relax, walk around, people watch and eat good food!  We have not been to Newport in a while and with #3 coming soon, we decided to plan a day trip to Newport.  Since it is a long ride down, we planned our trip to coincide with Wyatt and Owen's naps (the best laid plans do not always work out very well)!

Rhode Island is the third state the boys have ever been to.. so, what's a mom to do, but make a sign!


Again I had great intentions of having the boys hold the sign, but they had different plans!  
                       

We arrived just in time to eat.  After a yummy lunch at Panera we took off together to walk Thames Street.  We were stopped by people left and right.  Yes they are twins!  Thank you we think they are adorable too..  W & O love the attention (and quite frankly so do we)!  

Being 8 1/2 months pregnant I of course had to go to the bathroom, so we walked right to the pier.  Passing the Black Oyster, Ben and Jerry's and The Black Dog to look at the boats, we realized it was our lucky day.  The Black Dog ship was docked right there and we could board the ship for free.  There was a plank to walk on to get to the boat.  Jeff had to balance W&O as he stepped onto the ship and I had to balance my belly, but whew we did it!





It was just about that time again, time to eat!  We shared a Ben and Jerry's ice cream (yum, yum) and started the walk back to the car.  It was just about time for a second nap.  Wyatt passed out right away and Owen again had other plans.  He stayed awake talking and singing with us the whole ride home.

We cannot wait to bring all three boys back to Newport next year to see what new adventures await!
