East Coast Trip part 2: Rhode Island

We slept in a bit on Tuesday morning but Mike and I started our vacation with a run. My aunt and uncle have a really nice trail by their house. It used to be train tracks so its nice and flat and straight. Its also really shaded which was really nice. We ran almost 6 miles and it was so much fun. It was my first time running that far without any music and talking to Mike the whole time! I was pretty proud of myself :)

We wanted to go to the beach while we were there. The first place we went was Judith Point to see the lighthouse. We found out the lighthouse was blocked off though so we couldn't get close. The coast was pretty and fun but it was super windy.

After we explored the beach, we drove up to Massachusetts and went to IKEA. Josh had never been so we showed him how fun it is. Mostly we just walked around but in the kids section we found this chair that had a cover so you could sit in it and cover yourself. We discovered that each of us fit inside it but I was the only one who could get my shoes in too...kind of sad.

One of the reasons we wanted to go to Rhode Island was to see my grandma who I haven't seen since Mike and I got married. Tuesday night we had a fun dinner with my Aunt Pam, Uncle Barry and my grandma. My aunt pam made her yummy homemade lasagna and we just had fun catching up and skyping with Daniel back home so everyone could see him! (They were a little sad that we didn't bring him)

We had a great first day in Rhode Island!
