We trekked down to Newport on a pretty nice February day during the Winter Festival. We ate at Busker's a great Irish pub kinda of place. I gobbled down some Irish mac and cheese (with ham and peas - yum!), J enjoyed a huge Sheperd's Pie (he shares!), and my folks had huge lobster chunks in their bisque. (Aiden still doesn't believe that we eat lobsters - because he thinks they are too pinchy to eat!) Once our tummies were happy, we headed to the train depot. We took a train ride across Aquidneck Island, which included info on the wildlife of the shore, info about the Navy's aircraft carriers, and old metal puzzles where you try to remove the ring (which I am good at thanks to all the trips to historic sites as a kid where the gift shops were well stocked with old fashioned puzzles). Aiden was a bit bouncy the whole trip, and entertained himself with renditions of the chicken dance, pretending with daddy, and giggle fests with his grandparents.
Here is where Aiden is explaining to the naturalist that his mommy doesn't use sponges to clean.
Although these pictures may seem like we were out an extra $10, Aiden was a happy boy.
