4+ miles on the Cliff Walk

We went to Newport Rhode Island this weekend Woke up in our wonderful hotel and the sun was shining. Perfect day to get up, get dressed, and go explore the Cliff Walk! We did 4+ miles along the cliffs gazing into the backyards of the gilded age's wealthiest... Talk about a workout! We walked until the terrain got too rough (right around Rough Point, I was in sandals) and then walked back to our starting point. If you have a chance to do this- I highly suggest it. The views of the ocean are breathtaking. There are some points where you'll get a little sea spray to cool you off. Two tunnels to go through. Forty steps is an awesome viewing point that makes you feel like you're kinda on the edge of something a little dangerous but oh so beautiful. It was wonderful- a real Highlight. Oh, and I got sun poisoning because with the salty sea breeze blowing I had no idea how hot it was and how strong the sun was beaming on us. Don't make that mistake- wear sunscreen! <3 ...

Dieting on Vacay

Today I got up at the crack of dawn to embarq on an adventure . Hubby and I are celebrating 1 year of marriage in Newport RI. Being we are both raised in NJ, got married on a NJ beach, and have never been to Newport before, you may ask how we ended up there. YES We literally randomly selected it. We decided that since we got married on a beach, each year we will visit a different beach for our anniversary. We are clearly starting on the east Coast :) To date, together we have been up and down the Jersey coast, we have been to Ocean City Maryland, we have been to Daytona Beach FL, we have been to Jones Beach NY, we've been to Cancun, we've been to Capri and Sorrento. There are probably more but they evade me. So Newport RI won out this year because it's a lively port town and it was only about a 3 hour drive so perfect for a long weekend. I say that now since we just got in the car... Mind you, I almost brought my Bullet Blender with me to mix up my shakes. I have 3 can...
