New England Trip

To sum it all up: I had a BLAST.
My roommates from Ricks and I met for a week on the East coast. We did so much and had so much fun. We reverted back to our 18 year old self and played like giddy school girls. We remembered old inside jokes and even talked in our own language. Thanks to Manda for arranging and packing our week with non-stop fun. Also thanks to all the husbands, kids, and careers that were put on hold so we could do this fabulous trip.

Day 1: Newport RI. Tour of the mansions on the coast. These picts are of the "Breakers". This is where the Vanderbilts summered. What a life huh? It was a beautiful home, but you couldn't take pictures inside. It was crazy to see the rooms used to have lavish parties and even the special hallways where servants would restock closets.

Then off to the beach. It was windy and only about 70 degrees but that didn't stop us from experiencing the Atlantic Ocean. People looked at us like we were crazy. We pretty much are. We bought some grubbin lobster, had it steamed, and ate in our super nice hotel room. It was sooooooo good. We ate it without the proper utinsils though. So we had lobster juice squirting all over the place, trying not to hit ash (she's allergic- swells up like Hitch). No trips to ER thank heavens.

stay tuned....
