rewind: Neport, Rhode Island, aug 7-8.10

So... since we were already all the way up in Boston, we figured we might as well rent a car and drive to Rhode island- makes sense right? Matt's trying to hit all the states in the US so we were only about 1 hour and 20 minutes from where our friend Merritt and his company were hosting the Newport Jazz Festival. We couldn't pull ourselves away from Boston quick enough so we only made it for the last 20 minutes of the ALL DAY CONCERTS but we came for a great performer! Jamie Cullum just might make me a fan of Jazz. He was really entertaining and had some really fun songs.


The group: Merritt, Matt and I, Tara and Chris

Once the concert was over we drove around Newport and saw all the AMAZING homes. They were huge- I can't believe this is the only picture I took!



The International Tennis Hall of Fame is in downtown Newport. This is the grave of a pirate that found God right before he died and renounced his old ways so he was granted a burial in a church cemetery.
