Newport, Rhode Island for Roslyn's Graduation

On October 8-12 we got to drive up to Newport, Rhode Island.  We were joined by our Oregon family:  Uncle Jeff, Aunt Roxane, Grandma Booze and cousin Raquel to celebrate cousin Roslyn's graduation from Naval Officer's School.  It was a very fun two day celebration.  We even got to attend a party at the Officer's Club.  Even better, we got to enjoy two additional days hanging out with family.  We did a lot of sightseeing, hanging out in the hotel pool, doing up a fish fry and just enjoying time together.  Lily was in heaven getting to spend so much time with her family.

We are so proud of Roslyn and all she has accomplished.  She is now off to Oceanography school in Mississippi where I'm sure she will do great.  By the way, did I mention that Newport, RI is one of my favorite cities in the U.S. to visit?  So I had a great time and the fall color was out in force as well.  What a great trip.

The famous (and amazing) Cliff Walk in Newport with all the grand mansions built by the Astors and Vanderbilts (hundreds of them it felt like) lining the streets of Newport, RI.  The Cliff Walk was awesome.  Hard to believe their was that much money floating about.
