Trippin'



Hi friends! I'm back after a fun filled weekend that included an impromtu road trip weekend to Newport, Rhode Island. I think I took a subconscious cue from theladylu and found myself some adventure too. Friday night was a blast as I went to see a fav band of mine from Gainesville (REPRESENT!) at the Bowery Ballroom. Not only was the Holopaw show terrific, but I got to revel in the nostalgia of my old home. It made me miss Tally in a very deep and yearning type of way. Luckily, I quickly snapped out of it when reflecting upon my immediate surroundings. Saturday included a Vespa, the Cyclone, new friends and corndogs. During the evening, a plan was hatched to leave for RI in the morn. Four hours later, I was back awake (barely) and on my way to a new state with new friends that I had met 12 hours prior. How's that for adventure?! The trip north was quiet, but we soon arrived at a beautiful beach called Watch Tower Hill. Lovely coves and mansions dotted the coast line and I inhaled every briny ocean scent I could muster. We later arrived at a bbq where I devoured ribs and booze til I had to lay down for a break. The next day, we went cliff walking on the picturesque Newport coast and sailing on a 1926 vintage schooner. The feeling of being on a true sailboat in a pristine bay was almost too much happy to handle.

Let's hope for a good week to top off the weekend!
