Newport: The Planned Visit

Newport was incredible, as expected. I flew into Boston in my traditional Lulu's and one of Kyle's WSU work out long sleeved tops...the planes get cold! But, it was 101 when I walked out of the airport, bleh! Anyway, I was extremely sore from the accident and being on a plane immediately afterwards was less than ideal. We got home and took it easy, Kyle iced my back and massaged it over drinks. That was our only slow night....perf vacation, right? Well we did the usual sightseeing and baseball stuff but here are the top events of the trip:

- Spent hours on the private beach since margaritas are allowed there. The water was 72 degrees while we were there, it felt amazing. Also finished Josh Hamilton's book Beyond Belief out on the sand.

- Limo ride out on the town, it was so fun...oh and our own personal light show

(Bahahah)

- Food and drinks each night at Mudville, right on the field (courtesy of our host family and other 'adults')...yep that was my view of my man while I was posted up with white Sangria's.

- Kyle hit another homer while I was here! He also stole home, and ran the fastest 60 of any of the players at the All-Star game (for the scouts!!). He also started in center field for the All-Star game. The wrist is feeling way better, and it was so fun to be in the stands for it all. (His coach took him aside the other day and said, "I really like your new girlfriend and everything you're working towards now. You're a lot less stressed and overwhelmed compared to last summer and it really shows on the field." Whelp, nice to know I can help his game. Can I have a bat too?)

- Kyle and I did the Cliff Walk and it was gorgeous! The walk overlooks the ocean on one side and then on the other are the back yards of all the mansions on Ocean Drive.

- We played tennis at the International Tennis Hall of Fame....ahhh my dream come true. It was so beautiful and my boyfriend is finally getting good at tennis!

- We had Charlie's Cupcakes, featured on the show 'Cupcake Wars'

- Saw the oldest monastery in the United States. 

 

- We also saw the oldest working bar in the United States...but I don't have a photo for obvious reasons...

- Shopping! Of course.

- Night out for the 25th game win! The coaches and managers like to open the tabs all over town!

Kyle being the most awesome boyfriend ever.

Me being the most adorable girlfriend ever (notice no purse or jacket, yeeehaw!)

- An awesome bike ride down to a beach behind an abandoned elementary school, beautiful

Newport was amazing, and a much needed breather for the both of us. I'm now in Boston Logan airport waiting for my flight, I ventured out into Boston earlier. I'm not a huge fan of the smog, heat, and loads of people but the history is incredible. And I have officially decided that being young and in love is the best way to travel.
