I woke up around 7:15, showered, ironed my cloths and dressed. I spent time online checking emails and watching TV and having breakfast. Dave called to let me know what time he was picking me up. It was going to be ten. Mom gave me money as birthday present. I spent an hour relaxing until Dave came. We left a little after 10 we talked about work, family, and the weather and the upcoming TV season.

We arrived at Newport at Noon and went to the Red Parrot Restaurant for lunch. On the way there we stopped at the post office so I could mail my letter to Shannon Hutton in TX. I had Firecracker Shrimp Salad. It was teriyaki shrimp on a salad with mandarin oranges and pineapple and Chinese dried noodles topped off with Root beer and water. Dave had a Massive Lobster BLT on Focachia bread and some fruit drink.

Afterwards we took a tour on the Amazing Grace. We took the tour of the bay and the harbor. We saw Fort Adams and the beautiful Mansions, bridges, and past winners of the America’s Cup and multimillion Dollar yachts.

When we finished with the tour we walked around town and to a few shops including a Ben and Jerry’s Shop, another shop that had some Home furnishings (like clocks and stuff) along with some jazz type CD’s which I had bought.

Around 4 we got coffee and water and headed to the car. We took a ride down to the mansions and took a walk on the cliff walk. The weather began to change again to windy, cloudy and it was beautiful. We saw some people surfing at the beach. After the walk we took a ride along Ocean Drive and then got on the road for home. We did stop in Kingston at a McDonalds so I could have dinner. It was cheeseburger, fries and a shake. The drive wasn’t too bad and we listened to the CD I bought earlier in the day.

We got home a little after 9 and we chatted and then I came inside and Dave went home. I talked with Mom for a bit she was looking up a toy that Emily wanted and I helped her with it a little. I went to soak my blouse.
