Boston With the Middles - Day 3

Day 3 began with a slow waking up, a cupcake and a bit of time enjoying our friends, Nancy and Marion, and their daughter, Keryn, and their granddaughter, Savannah.....many moons ago, during our time in Ma, Nancy and Marion were our neighbors and we have remained close ever since.  
After a bit of visiting, we took a little drive to one of my most favorite places ever, Newport, Rhode Island.
 Newport is a quaint little city on the RI coastline and it has a little bit of everything to offer!
 We especially enjoy the Cliff Walk along the coast which gives you an outside tour of the mansions and their grounds.  It's beautiful.  The girls enjoyed dancing along the way and taking random pics as we strolled.
It was a beautiful day and the girls were thrilled to just have a moment to explore and dance and do a little gymnastics along our trek!
 We then took another little car ride over to Providence, RI.  
I found a little tour, one that took us into what Italy may feel like. 
 A gondola ride, complete with a singing gondolier!  And we had the best little cookies and juice to boot.
 Providence is a city that has a beautiful, quaint, little skyline....we have many memories with friends being in Providence for dinners and fires along the river.  
 Finally, it was time to show the girls where it all began for us in MA!  Our little home, our first jaunt away from family, the home we brought Pryce home from the hospital to, the home that grew us as a couple and a family.
 And then a little park time....I have so many memories at this very park with Colin as a baby!  The girls enjoyed hearing the stories of baby Colin at the park with his little buddy, Drew.  
 And then it was dinner time!  Bertucci's for the win!  Bertucci's is a little piece of Italian goodness that only MA and a few other northern states have to offer and it is was everything we remembered!
Nancy, Marion, Keryn and Savannah were able to meet us for dinner too which made for a special evening!
