On Saturday we took Gary and Ashley all over the East Bay. We started our at the Crescent Park Carousel I already posted pictures and stories about. Then we drove through Barrington and Warren (where Nicholas and spend most of our time) to Bristol. We stopped at Colt State Park. This is the only picture I got there because I fell on those pretty rocks and banged up my shin. I am always so graceful.Next we stopped at Newport Vineyards in Middletown for a little wine tasting. It was quite busy
since it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. We had lunch at a quaint little deli next door where our cup o' chowda was a huge bowl and came with a Texas size cookie. We finished our tour of the East Bay in Newport, the summer vacation spot of the very wealthy. We drove along "Mansion Ave." to see the summer homes of Old Money. We parked at "The Breakers," the former home of the Vanderbuilt family (of which Anderson Cooper is member) and took a stroll on the Cliff Walk. The Cliff Walk runs along the water behind the homes of the Newport Historical Society and many that aren't. Although, we found that The Breakers is the only home that you can see from the Cliff Walk thanks to all the wonderful fences. It was a beautiful day for a walk, and I love the sound of crashing waves.

Nicholas was happy he was able to use some of his grilling tools he got for Christmas.
