We decided to skip Wickford and move right on to Newport...land of mega yachts and the beautiful Rose Island Lighthouse where you can be keeper for a day.Not that we have anything against Wickford, mind you. It is a 
beautiful little town and I'd love to spend some time there. But, the weather was questionable and the kids wanted to go body surfing so we found ourselves sailing on past and landing at the dock in Newport. For those of you who sail or camp you can appreciate the fact that we are able to hook up to shore power and have water plentiful courtesy of a hose at the marina. Oh, and we can take real showers. Ahhh!
We're staying at the Newport Yachting Center and as I write they are setting up a huge tent for a party that we weren't invited too (wah!). But, we figure once the kids are asleep and the guests have enough to drink we can probably tuck in for a cocktail or two unnoticed.

You know, the one with the helicopter...not. Can you believe that thing was downing 4,000 gallons of fuel and water!
Still having fun. Wish all of you were here too. Actually, a quick drive to Newport will have you here with us in a flash. Come on down!
