Newport - Part 1

Hello dear friends.  Last weekend, we took our #1 and Adorable Jonathon to my new favorite town, Newport, Rhode Island.  It was a picture-perfect day featuring warm sunshine and soft breezes.

Newport is packed with good old New England charm.

My home country was calling me. 

Love this cute little sign in the window box.

There are so many fabulous restaurants in Newport.  We decided have lunch at The Mooring which is located on the water.  It was a great choice.

The Mister got to stare at boats through lunch.  His new favorite hobby.

We couldn't have lunch on the water without ordering mussels.

Another appetizer we ordered was a bag of donuts.  It was a combo of lobster, crab, and shrimp fritters.  Take my word for it, those little guys are addicting.

Adorable Jonathon sampling the very first mussel of his life.  

He liked it!

The empty nesters pretty happy to have one of their little chikadees home.

Notice the sign Dog Bar.  People can enjoy their lunch al fresco in the company of their dog.  If Chowdah ever learns how to behave, he may be invited sometime.

Did not sample any of these delights, but they looked delicious!

Love this shop!  Most of the merchandise in the store is made from refurbished sails.

Great looking bags that will last forever. I don't think airport security stands a chance ruining one of these sturdy bags.

They also carry a line of darling baskets for bikes.

So cute I may put this little beauty on my Christmas list.

Just kidding Mister, I still want jewelry.

Happy Friday!
