Newport

We had a fabulous mini/impromptu vacation at the coast. We stayed at the Embarcadero, which had one bedroom suite, which is needed to keep your sanity when travelling anywhere with a baby! We weren't right on the ocean, but it was actually much nicer to be in the bay....no cold wind blowing on us! We behaved like good tourists, and hit all the main attractions.

We spent some time at the Aquarium, which Sawyer has always loved but Reed just adored. He couldn't get enough of the fish. He left his sweet little fingerprints all over each and every exhibit. He even tried to kiss a couple of the fish.

We hit Ripley's, The Wax Museum and the Underwater show.

We hung out on the pier and watched the seal lions.

Reed was such a good baby the whole time! He let us go out to eat, and was a dream. We did try to eat too late one night, and he just wanted to go to bed....so we got food to go, but that's what I get for trying to eat dinner at 6pm. We found our new favorite restaurant, Local Ocean Seafood. I ate chowder...but not clam chowder...fresh crab and sharp white cheddar cheese chowder...HEAVEN!!! We ate there every day.
It was a perfect vacation. I can't wait to go back again!
