Cross Country Adventure Recap Part 5: Exploring Newport

After we got Austin changed, we set out to have lunch and explore Newport!


After lunch and walking around Newport for a while shopping here and there, Leslie suggested that we go on a boat tour of the harbor! Awesome idea!

Personally stoked to see some of the amazing mansions in Newport, via their waterfront, we boarded the boat...where there was a bar! Yahtzee!

Not only was there a bar, but they were stocked with Landshark thanks to a Jimmy Buffet concert that night...

And tons of life jackets for drunkards...should anything disastrous happen...

Which all equals a very happy and cheesy reunited couple hanging out on the lawn furniture provided to sit on down below...


We were all so excited!!! Right? Wrong.

Approximately 20 seconds after pulling away from the dock:


The poor kid hadn't sat down without anyone screaming at him about it in 14 weeks. Heat, a comfy seat, nice people and the gentle rocking motion of a boat in a harbor seemed to equal a quick formula of a nap for Ensign Gage...

Here is a recap of what he missed during his siesta:

Boats in the harbor...

The set up for the Jimmy Buffet concert...the tour guide/boat captain said they get tons of people for big concerts hanging out off shore on air mattresses, floaties and boats to listen to the music for free...

Next OSL Beach House anyone? It is only accessible by boat...let's take it to the next level.

This is where Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis spent her formative years...

Oooh, pretty.

Our new summer home...

Crazy, eh? If those lotto numbers would only hit...

More to come!
