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.

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...

Bad decision

So I wax. Do you? What do you wax? Well, I wax my body, well my eyebrows and girly mustache, not those other body parts they do in "Brazil." Any who..... Today was the day. I hadn't waxed in FOREVER and so I decided I'd take a stab at it. I have been doing my own waxing since I got married, I use to live with this wonderful girl, Jamie, and she was a professional, but I got it free. The friendly roommate discount. She did great. She would spend a good 20 min. or more and wax, pluck, and make me a new girl with definition on the brow line. Well, at first I was horrible and took forever. However, through the years and trials, I have gotten better....UNTIL today. I decided to do it at the wrong time and that was the start of a horrible ending to this sad story. Why was the timing wrong you ask? Well, Connelly was awake and getting into, on, around, and breaking EVERYTHING he could find in the bathroom. (Basically, he was eating my tampons and opening up maxi pads one by...

Mexican Rivera Cruise

Here is Lover's Beach in Cabo San Lucus. It was fun to go and swim in the clear water. Nate went Parasailing. I got a hour massage on the beach. We stopped at Puerta Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo. We went for a week. No kids!! It was fun, about the fourth day my pregnancy really hit me . Food just wasn't appetizing anymore and I just was so tired. It was actually kind of cold too. Only one day at sea was warm enough to enjoy the outside and sun tan and read a book. The rest of the time we were indoors. The drive down and back was fun. We went with two other couples that made us laugh a lot.
