Today was the day for a new adventure! Dale and Rebekah were off to a music festival, while Noah, Leah and I wanted to check out Taste of Newport. This was the day for our first ride on...the bus!
I concede nervousness.
I mean, give me a train in Philly and I'm all researched, asked advice of locals and have no problem looking like a tourist, reading all the signs along the way. But in my own back yard (almost literally!), I want to at least appear a little knowledgeable.
Taking a picture of the bus stop was the first clue that I'm a newbie.
Appearances aside, the first three are back home without getting lost and with the friendly assistance of two different TANK bus drivers. I didn't have to look for parking, and Dale didn't have to pay for parking. We had an air-conditioned ride each way and were almost dropped off at our front door.
This, my friends, for a first-time outing...was a success!
And yes, the food was delicious too! There's definitely a few places in Newport we'll be visiting again.

| For the one day event, several blocks of Monmouth Street were open to pedestrians only. |

| We now want to come back and check out this comic store sometime when it's open. |

| VERY cute (& some beautiful) cakes in this store front. To the right was a cake that resembled pancakes, with eggs & bacon on the side. |
