Saturday get away



Yesterday we decided to take off in the morning and take a ride up to Newport, Rhode Island. Little did we realize that it was their St. Patrick's Day parade and we would get stuck getting off of the bridge and every darn road would be closed for the longest parade ever.

So it wasn't the day we planned to have, but getting away is always good. The sky was bright and clear and we did make it to visit a couple of the beaches and take some good pictures. Downtown was just out of control. It was the start of spring break and there were more drunk college kids than I have ever seen in one place before. So we didn't hang around there too long.

On the way home we stopped in at the casino. My husband and I have only been there a few times. While it is fun to play the slots for a little while, I don't want to throw money away like that. So I spent my big $5.00 at the penny machine. My husband isn't interested in slot machines at all, so he just hung around me waiting. Then we grabbed some dinner and headed home.

Today I am staying close to home. Lots of catch up stuff to do around here.

Well it seems like you were thwarted at every turn!! :(

I'm not big into gambling either-- except for the occasional lottery ticket.
