Beach House

Carrie, Tim and I decided that we wanted to find a beach house for our stay in Newport. We succeeded with finding this one.


(Abbey loved the flowers in the front, she was showing them off to Johnny, who was taking the picture!)


It was perfect for our beach needs. We were able to wake up, cook and eat breakfast, put our suits on and walk to the beach. When we wanted lunch or we were all done for the day a short walk to the house is all it took! No driving the car trying to find a spot for 45 min, no paying for parking! It was great. The only down side was having to still do dishes and sweep up all the sand! But who really complains about doing dishes when you have eaten french toast, carne asada tacos, and chicken shish kabobs! Not to mention bananas foster for dessert!

We were also really close to the pier, which meant we were close by all the shops to walk into and good restaurants like Spaghetti Factory. We would pack up the kids and go. I'm so glad we decided to invest in a double stroller before we left. We got a good deal on it and I can't imagine our vacation with out it! It was a life saver.




By the end of our stay we had to pack up and stay in a hotel for two nights. We missed the beach house... but it was nice to have some four star luxuries, ie house keeping!!

The double stroller was great... except when Abbey decided she wanted to walk everywhere like us... remember, she would walk at a glacial pace!! That Abbey is a firecracker! I love the picture Johnny took of her... she's loves him, you can tell by her little smirk! Too cute. The beach house was perfect... Tim did a good job finding it for us!
