Hampton Beach

Earlier today Matt, Anthony, and I arrived back in Providence after spending the weekend at Hampton Beach with Matt's family. They go every year for a week, but since we're traveling down to Tennessee for one of my best friends' wedding (Lars and his fiancé, Natasha), we only went yesterday and today. It's a little less than two hours away from us and is a great beach. It's very touristy, but clean and beautiful. It was cloudy most of both days and a little cool, so the water was too cold for us (especially Anthony) to go in, but we did get our feet wet. Matt and I were able to get Fry Doe, the best in the world, and just relax with Anthony. Here are a couple pictures from the trip:

Spring Lake and WaterFire

We went to Spring Lake today and Anthony had his first venture into water outside a bathtub! Anthony LOVED it! He took a minute to get used to the water, it was pretty warm though so it wasn't long. He went in a couple times with me and Matt and even took a nap under his shader on the beach.

Here are some of the pictures we took:

First time heading into the water!

Liking it so far...

Tonight we also went to WaterFire in downtown Providence. During the summer, the city runs this attraction on the river: volunteers play music and light piles of wood in the middle of the river on fire. It's very pretty and it attracts a lot of tourists (as well as local residents and vendors) and is a lot of fun. We brought Anthony tonight and he really enjoyed the fire and music! He was really good despite the large crowds and being up late!
