So I'm going to Newport. You might be thinking, "California?" or you might be thinking "Oregon?" The answer is neither. It is Newport, Rhode Island..... I know, I know. I didn't know there was a Newport, RI either. And then you ask, "Why Rhode Island?" It was a great deal, because I'm going in Febuary. Yes, it will be cold, but I'm not scared off by a little cold weather. I NEED A TRIP. Come snow, rain, hail, or whatever, I'm going on this trip!!! I was suppose to go on a trip last January before Connelly came, and I didn't get out of the SLC airport. So I have tickets this time and I'm off. I have been looking at the whole state, which is only 1000 square feet total and I think it is going to be great. We are only a few hours from New York and so we will hit that one day, and then about 35 miles from Boston and Nate really wants to go there. We are taking my Mom and Connelly. It is going to be something fun to look forward to.
We stayed at a cute log cabin by the path that goes from Sun Valley to Hailey. There was a huge open field where we were able to throw the ball and play with the dogs in the snow. We ate lunches out and cooked the other meals in the cabin. Connelly got the French dip, Nate got the Pastrami, Kate got Macaroni salad and I got the Acai bowl! This was our fourth year going to SunValley. We love to shop at the thrift store, Gold Mine. We found a lamp, board games, Sorrel snow boots for kate, beanies, and Corral plates for the kitchen!! GOLD MINE! Connelly went to Bald Mountain for the first time. He was able to ski just as fast if not as fast as me. The ski runs there are so long. I never took the kids because they are so long and I thought they wouldn't last two runs. Connelly and I did 5 runs!! It was so fun. Then we got the souvenir pins for Dolla...
