Rhode Island

Yup, we made it. It is 2 pm Saturday and we're just getting moving. It was a LONG day yesterday.
During our 4 hour layover in Chicago we had lunch with Ryen in the Hilton.
By the time we made it to Providence it was nearly 11pm. We got our bags, the rental car and headed to the hotel we reserved in Providence. I am really glad we didn't drive all the way to Newport last night. Not that it would be that bad in our Kia Sedona. :) We rented a Ford Fusion (or another car of comparable size), but they "upgraded" us. Danny doesn't really want to be driving it, but its what we've got.
The front desk at the hotel gave us directions to the Walmart here that is open 24 hrs. We drove out there and got some snacks which really consisted off our midnight meal (easy mac) and a breakfast snack (bananas). Guess now we'll have to get lunch/dinner.
Tomorrow morning we will check out of here and head to Newport. Danny starts class Monday morning. The next few weekends we plan on traveling to Boston and NYC. Wish us luck.

  2. Hey Dad, don't jinx it!
    Or, don't give us any ideas. I never told Danny I wanted to drive a minivan anyway.

  3. Sorry, minivans are synonymous w/parenthood! May as well get used to it now, you wild and crazy kids. Enjoy your stay in the Northeast, it's beautiful this time of year.

  4. Hey, I meant to ask you - you guys are planning on visiting the Bakers, right? Where are they now? Are they still in Virginia? I sent them a graduation announcement back in April to their Virginia address and never heard back from them...
