Last night we went into the downtown area for a little poking around, and we took the kids on their first boat ride. There is a water taxi that leaves from the end of our street and will take you across the harbor right to the heart of Newport. This is definitely the way to go. It was fun and easy and our whole family got a beautiful boat ride for $6 round trip! To park in that area is $20 plus the hassle, so we're loving the water taxi! We didn't have anything special planned; we mainly just wanted to go for the ride. So when we got there, we found a Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream shoppe. The kids were excited to have a boat ride and ice cream. We all enjoyed being in the heart of the city and soaking it all in.
We brought the stroller and, of course, the little man did great. He can't have ice cream yet, but he did enjoy smiling at us while we had ours.
The boat ride back home was especially nice. The sun was just setting and the water was beautiful.
The full moon rising over the harbor.
Right after sunset, looking towards the Newport bridge.
We're most certainly going to have to do that again sometime. So beautiful and potentially romantic. I see "date night" written all over this. :)

How beautiful! That is a great family photo too! It all makes me want to come visit you. :)
If you are ever looking for a great place to eat, you should go to Salas'. The food is great and it is reasonably priced.
I mean are you living in the perfect place or what? That is just GORGEOUS- and a water ferry for the family to get ice cream- too much! LOVE your family photo too.
