| August 5th: When I see the ocean, my heart skips a beat! |
 |
| Hotel Gurney on Goat Island in Newport RI |
 |
| Our hotel room at the Gurney. I spent most of the week sitting at that desk working on my laptop so I wouldn't be behind when my new Seminary assignment started the following week. |
 |
| Of course we had to find a local Thai restaurant |
 |
| The busy harbor. I love cloudy days too! |
 |
| The second place we ate at in Newport was a sushi restaurant |
 |
| August 6th: This popular seafood restaurant was our third place to eat It was down the road from the hotel, but it was closed on Monday |
 |

 |
| Fish tacos for Mike and fish and chips for me |
 |
| August 8th: Some of the most impressive things to see in Newport are the gorgeous mansions. This adorable oriental Tea House is on the property of one of them--wow. |
 |
| Mansions on the coast |
The rooms in the mansions are so amazingly beautiful and intricate. So much marble, gold, and art! And the grounds are huge and gorgeous too!

It took all day to tour two mansions, and we were supposed to see three of them. We never made it back for the third house. On August 9th, we checked out of our hotel in Newport and drove to Boston to see my old best friend from college. We had a great visit.
After our goodbyes, we headed to another hotel in Providence near the airport so we could make our early flight on the 10th. It was a huge room. Too bad we only had it for one night! Our Rhode Island and Boston adventures were fun, even though I spent most of my time in our hotel room working on my laptop. I loved seeing the ocean and the seagulls, touring the gorgeous mansions, seeing the beautiful Boston Temple, and visiting our dear friends, Sandy and John Cole.
