Newport, RI

So I talked about the first two days of our trip back East but I failed to mention the place were were staying. We stayed in Newport, RI and it was pretty. I guess it was a dead season. Half or more of the shops were closed. It is known for the summer season. The population in the summer doubles or more. We walked along the cliff walk for a mile or so. It went for about 4 miles along the coast.



This is the bridge you go from Jamestown to Newport on. At night it lights all up and is beautiful. You have to pay $2 every time you go across it and then $2 when you come back. I'm sure the locals have a pass or discount called the EZ pass, but I don't know how much that is.







Mom and Connelly out in the bitter cold, and that day it wasn't as cold as the prior two days. The prior two days, we stayed in the condo ALL DAY!!! That way we were warm, and didn't spend too much money. The food there was ridiculously expensive. You all know how Frugal I am. I am Frugal on vacation too.

Connelly 3 years old

I haven't blogged or done a cute updated pix of Connelly since his March birthday when he turned three. He is so fun. I have no energy because I'm pregnant but he has a ton of it. He loves to ride his bike and play with his friends from sun up to sun down. He believes he is pregnant too and he has a "baby Kate" in his belly like I do. We are looking forward to Oct. 13th as much as ever in this horrid heat. I hate being pregnant in the summer. I love summer, I love being in a bathing suit, and this summer isn't what I love because I don't look good in a bathing suit and I hate the heat.

Sun Valley, Idaho 2021

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...

Random thoughts

So this post is a combination of what I've been thinking the past little bit: First, this morning, I didn't do anything with myself because I was going to wear a hat to class, Anatomy 2320, and so I just picked my zits and got Connelly to go to my mother in laws, and left. Yes left without the freaking hat. I didn't comb my hair, didn't put make up on, and left the house red, picked on ugly zit face. What was I thinking. oh well, it isn't like I even talk to anyone in class or having an affair with my teacher so no biggy. Second, I took a test in my anatomy class Monday, and I thought for sure we would get our tests back today. WE DIDN"T. so I have to anticipate my score another 6 days. HHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...... Connelly must be getting more teeth. He is Onery. He will be cute however about 10 minutes before he goes to be. He is really ticklish and giggly late at night. So then it makes it hard to want to put him in bed because he i...
