Newport, RI

Jake -

This week we took a vacation to Newport, RI. Here is a picture of you and your mom walking along the hotel grounds just outside of our hotel room, which had an excellent view. On our second and last night there, the fog rolled in and made it impossible to see any of the three light houses that are otherwise in view of the hotel. We woke too late to get good pictures, but the first thing we saw out of our window this morning were the sailboats moored just 50 yards from our room. Only faintly visible through the lingering fog, they seemed to hover above their mirrored reflections on gray water below. It was quite a striking sight. Your favorite part of the trip was undoubtedly the outdoor saltwater pool at the hotel. Even though it was amazingly cold water, you had a blast "swimming" and splashing with your mom and dad. Being home is bitter-sweet, but we are looking forward to a fun weekend with you!
