I love fall. This fall has been a little different though as I'm missing the crisp sunny days. I find myself inside more looking out to cloudy skies each day. Today, I grabbed my favourite mug that I got as a small souvenir from our honeymoon and I made myself a homemade chai latte. That mug got me dreaming about Newport, RI. John and I went to Newport for our honeymoon and stayed at the Cliffside Inn. If you want a luxury summer getaway, head to Newport. Cliffside Inn is an old mansion on the ocean that has been renovated into a beautiful B&B. When we phoned to book our stay, John had asked which room the host would recommend as we were on our honeymoon. He told us to pick any suite we wanted and he would give it to us for the cheapest rooms price! We chose the Garden suite. It still was a total splurge but so worth it. We took a road trip and drove ourselves to Newport and brought our bikes. We parked the car and pretty much went everywhere on our bikes, exporing the island. Each day we would wake up and head out to the porch for breakfast. We'd have homemade granola with fruit and yogurt, some sort of hot delicious dish and tea. Each afternoon we would come back "home" for an afternoon wine and cheese gathering which left dinner as the only meal we really needed to buy out. We took a 3 hour sailing trip around the bay seeing famous landmarks and the amazing mansions, we explored the cliff walk and spend countless hours at the gorgeous beaches. One of the most memorable trips was a ferry ride to Block Island. This gorgeous island had beautiful white sand beaches, tropical blue water and amazing waves! I'd highly recommend a trip to the island if you are in newport. We have said a few times that we would love to go again with the kiddos (If and when more arrive!) and stay on block island for a few days.
So while it was, and still is, cloudy outside, it's beautiful Newport summer sunshine in my mind!
