My requests were simple. It was to be the four of us, clam strips and ocean. The weather was beautiful and I hit the trifecta - I got all three.
We headed here for dinner. Based on years of driving by on my way to and from the beach and the hugely long lines I've seen - I thought we'd give it a try. It's not much of a website, but I suppose I'd rather have them perfecting the fried clam than learning html and java.
Our view:
No vibrating, flashing beeper thingy here. Just a number. On a rock.
The girlie and I? Thought it was delish - the clam cakes (fritters, really) were to die for. The menfolk, however? Not as impressed with their choices. My husband kept looking longingly at the plates of all you can eat crab legs that kept passing by our table. Ah, well - live and learn.
Now, it was downright hot at home but in Newport? Um, TWENTY degrees cooler. Actually not cooler....COLDER. Still though, I thought we'd hit up the sea glass beach before heading home. It was high tide and we pretty much struck out but there were jetties to climb and periwinkles to rescue.
"You want me to go again? Because I can go again. Did you cut my head off? Are my feet in the picture? Because I can jump again, y'know. If you need me too. Do you need me to? Just get one more jump. Just in case."
Not a problem, kiddo. I'll take a thousand more of these if you want me to.
In summary? Fantastic way to spend my evening.
And as a bonus? We got to come home my other birthday present:

Happy belated, my pal...
LOVE THIS!!! What gorgeous pictures, what a perfect birthday!! I love it all! I think I'll just have to come out for my birthday for much of the same!
Happy belated! I'm glad it was a good day. And those leaping photos? Wonderful!
Sounds like a perfect day to me too. My husband, though, instead of rescuing periwinkles, would be eating them with a pin. Yuck.

Happy Birthday! What a perfect day. You lucky girl.
...and these are some awesome, crisp & clear, beeyootiful pics.
I've returned to comment again about how gorgeous your pictures are....and not just the people/pets in the pics but the quality of the shot. If I may ask, what kind of camera do you use?
Pretty puppy!
