The mystery daytrip
So did you figure out where I went? It was someplace I have not blogged about at Café Chatelaine. Was it Paris? Honestly, I would have had to take the Concorde for that.
Or maybe it was London. Maybe I spent time cruising down the Thames.
Or at a cute little pub with flowers outside on the lightpost?
No, it's not likely. Boston, Massachusetts is a little too far from England for a daytrip.
I went to Newport, Rhode Island! Honestly I have not been to Newport since 1984. Newport is less than 90 minutes from Boston so it is an easy daytrip. Count Robot, your guess was correct! You won a prize.
My sister was doing a live event painting at a wedding in Newport so she was going down there for the weekend. I decided to join her for the day.
We had afternoon tea at the Viking Hotel. The Hotel was very elegant and had a nice location.

We looked in all the shops downtown and on the waterfront.
And took a coffee break later in the day when we met up with my sister's friend Barbara.
I have never seen a balcony in a Starbuck's!
At one of the shops, we met the resident kitty. His name was Bum.
We decided to eat at The Mooring which was right on the waterfront. We sat on a covered deck and Barbara needed her sunglasses.
After dinner, we saw a beautiful sunset down by the dock.
It was so peaceful at the waterfront. I love the sound of boats bobbing up and down.
We passed by an arcade and I challenged the ladies to a round of skeeball. I love to play skeeball. It takes me back to vacations at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. Anyway, my sister won. See her great form?
We cashed in our tickets and I got two rhinestones and three plastic frogs. My sister got a bracelet since she had more tickets.
The day was not long enough. I had to go home and feed my kitties. I am just going to have to return and do a bit more exploring.

We split a bag of doughnuts. That's what it was called. The doughnuts were made of shrimp, cod and lobster. Delicious!
