My eldest son used to jump up in my bed when he was around 2 years old and carefully pile every pillow in the house on top of me. As I lay there, pleasantly smothered I could here his little voice asking me...

"...are you BASHED, daddy?...you BASHED?"

Summer OH TEN - RHODE ISLAND

Bud and Sheila were also in Stratford. Bud's granddaughter, Samantha graduated high school and there was a big party for her up in Rhode Island. So we all drove up there together to celebrate. It was a short and scenic trip. Rhode Island is beautiful in the summer. We arrived at the Meadowbrook Inn for the festivities. Everything was great. Samantha looked radiant. Her parents Jeff and Christy and her sister Amanda did a great job with the party. All her friends and family were there. It was an honor to be included amongst such a great group of people!

Afterwards, instead of making the drive back, Bud and Sheila treated us to a night at the Shelter Harbor Inn, one of their favorite places to stay in RI. I can see why, it was absolutely beautiful! We checked in, unpacked and then headed back out to Jeff & Christy's house for the after party. Songs and 'smores by the campfire. The perfect end to a great day!

The next morning we ate breakfast together at the Inn. Best breakfast I've had in years. Corey cracked up us all up when he ordered his breakfast...

He looked at the menu, then said "I'll have the Eggs Any Style"

And that was all he said.

We packed up and headed over to the beach for a quick look at the Atlantic before heading back to Stratford. Misquamicut Beach. Wow. Those New England beaches certainly are breathtaking!

All in all, I'd have to say that Rhode Island was the most scenic part of our summer trip. I would love to go back again, thank you Willis's!

Enjoy the RHODE ISLAND PICTURES
