NEWPORT

I HAD NEVER BEEN TO NEW ENGLAND BEFORE, RHODE ISLAND TO BE EXACT, UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. ITS DIFFERENT THEN THE WEST COAST, BUT IN A GOOD WAY. NEWPORT IS QUITE THE AMAZING TOWN, WITH ITS DEEP ROOTED AMERICAN HISTORY, COBBLE STONE ROADS, OLD CHURCHES, PUBS, WHARFS, TROLLEYS, MANSIONS OF COURSE AND THE FOOD- THE FOOD WAS INSANE! THE FIRST DAY WE HAD FRESH BLOODY MARYS, LOBSTER ROLLS AS BIG YOUR FACE AND OUR FIRST TASTE OF 'REAL' NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER. SHORTLY AFTER OUR FOOD BINGE WE TOOK THE MANSION TOUR (LIKE NERDS) OF THE VANDERBILT "SUMMER COTTAGE" ON THE WATER. WOW THEY DON'T BUILD EM LIKE THAT ANYMORE. ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS DRESS FOR A MASQUERADE BALL AND PLAY HIDE AND SNEAK. CHILDHOOD DREAMS AND ADULT DREAMS CAN COME TOGETHER, RIGHT? ANYHOW THE REASON FOR OUR TRIP WAS TO ATTEND A WEDDING FOR OUR DEAR FRIENDS FROM NY, KEITH AND GRACE. YUP... ANOTHER WEDDING BUT THIS ONE WAS DIFFERENT. SOME OF OUR BEST AND OLDEST FRIENDS ALL TOGETHER AGAIN CELEBRATING. ITS ALWAYS GREAT SEEING FRIENDS YOU RARELY GET TO SEE... BABIES WHO ARE NOW WALKING AND TALKING, OLD PEOPLE STILL BEING OLD PEOPLE BUT HAVING SO MUCH FUN. THE GROOMS PARENTS THREW THE MOST EXTRAVAGANT REHEARSAL DINNER EVER, GATSBY STYLE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU CAN CALL IT A REHEARSAL DINNER SINCE IT WAS ATTENDED BY 170 PEOPLE. ALL IN ALL IT WAS AN AMAZING TRIP, A GORGEOUS WEDDING (THANK YOU WEATHER GODS!), WITH GREAT STORIES, NOT THE USUAL DEBAUCHERY STORIES BUT JUST GOOD DRUNKEN FAMILY FUN. BUT I MUST SAY EVERYONE WAS ON THEIR BEST BEHAVIOR. WITH THIS GROUP YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN. WELL DONE GUYS. 

AND UNTIL NEXT TIME LADIES AND GENTS...
