Ethan and I ventured out of the city for Easter. We rented a car near Grand Central Station and headed out to New England. Luckily, it was Good Friday when we left Manhattan and there was no traffic because the city literally seemed to shut down over Passover/Holy Week. We made it to Erin and Mark's place in Newport in about 3 hours. We had a fun weekend with them and their kids. It was nice to finally meet Mark and to see the whole Leavitt family together. We just wish they were going to be on the East Coast with us for longer than a year.
I was still getting over my cold, so I wasn't feeling 100%, but it was nice to get outside and breath the fresh clean sea air. It was however freezing cold, so when we went outside, it wasn't for too long. We walked along the water near Mark and Erin's place at Fort Adams. I would compare it to Fort Casey on Whidbey, with the stone/cement forts, lots of water and green fields. Kira and Maddie explored the shore with Uncle Ethan. We also went out to a park and the boys flew a kite. Saturday night, a babysitter came to watch the kids and us adults went out to a great dinner at the Red Parrot. The next day the Easter Bunny came and left a bunch of treats and chocolate. "One chocolate, two chocolate, three chocolate and another chocolate" as Graham put it. Erin cooked a yummy brunch and we lounged around and watched Star Wars: Episode 3.
We'll have more Newport photos come May, when we go back for Madeline's first communion.
Have a good weekend!
