Over Memorial Day weekend, Glenn and I flew up to Rhode Island to visit our dear friends, the Gilberts! We lived a 2 second walk apart in Japan and Stella and often found ourselves there for hours at a time. Watching the kiddos, enjoying margaritas or having a good cry. Whatever the day entailed! I've missed Kristy, Drew and their little Giblettes so much!
We got in late on Friday night and stayed up late chatting. On Saturday, we headed to the Cliff Walk. A gorgeous walking/running path that overlooks the bay and is backed by humungeous old mansions. A perfect combination in my world.
On Sunday, we returned to the same area and checked out The Breakers. A Vanderbilt mansion.
Our Vanderbilt world tour continues! It was huge, opulent and over the top, but so cool to see.
On Sunday night, Kristy got a babysitter and we headed out to downtown Newport to a great seafood restaurant and then to one of the bars downtown. Newport is a cute little town with so much history. I loved all the little shops and colonial homes.
The rest of the weekend was a lot of relaxing, donut eating and hanging out with the kiddos. It felt like we were neighbors again. I can't wait til they come down to Virginia in August. Thanks for having us Gilberts!
