Newport!!

Have you ever realized how much easier it is to get out of bed in the morning when you realize a) work is closing early due to a holiday weekend b) a holiday weekend means 3 fabulous days off in a row and c) 3 fabulous days off in a row equals vacation!

I'm headed to Newport, RI today for a 4 day trip with a bunch of girlfriends. Other than once changing plans at the Providence airport I have never been to Rhode Island. Newport is a sweet coastal town with cobblestone streets, a quaint downtown, a beautiful harbor/coastline and gorgeous architecture. I'm excited to hang out with the girls, eat delicious New England good (lobster and clam chowder anyone?!) and hopefully catch a few rays.

The only issue is a certain hurricane that is sweeping the East Coast over the next day or two, which is expected to cause travel delays. Here's to hoping we actually make it to Newport!

Have you ever been to Newport?? Any place in particular that we should check out??
