Our visit to Newport, RI

While Zack's parents were here we went to Newport, RI to see some sites. It's not too far from where we live and so we jetted down there for an afternoon of fun. We ate some lunch and walked around a little. The have a street that has famous old mansions of people like the Vanderbilt's and what not, so we took a drive along this. Our plan was to see these during the daylight, but we got a late start since Oliver had napped longer than expected and so we had to settle for a dark drive by. So--from the dark drive by looks of it, they were amazing and expansive!! We'll have to go back another time and maybe take the tour or something. They all looked like big old chateaus. By the harbor is such a fun seaport kind of feeling. It was really fun to walk around and see the shops and different architecture! Anyway, it was fun and the food was good, and the company was great!!

We had some chips and salsa and sour cream at lunch and Oliver was having so much fun dipping his chips in the sour cream! I was surprised that he liked sour cream.

Sour Cream Hands!! This boy loves to dip!

Apparently Oliver loves getting water out of a straw! Who knew?

Are you going to finish that?

Bob, Candyce, Zack, and Oliver in front of the Cooke Restaurant. Because of course we are part of the Cook with and E family. Maybe not this particular Cooke (with and E) family, but a Cooke (with and E) family! We should have gotten a free meal there I think!!

Beautiful Harbor in Newport
