Rhode Island!

Shortly before Halloween, Grace and I took a trip with my good friend Danielle and her beautiful daughter Desi up north to take in some fall foliage and to introduce Desi to her Rhode Island fam. It was an awesome trip despite the fact that my girl got sick and we spent some time in a walk-in clinic (never fun for the wife of a chiropractor!).

In any case, Grace loved the flight up...















And loved the apple orchard...















Where we got to do some fantastic apple picking...






































































We had some great fall weather...















Some delicious food (courtesy of Jiggers Diner in East Greenwich, RI. The top pic is their famous gingerbread pancakes with banana and blueberries; the bottom is their delicious homemade granola)...













































We also really enjoyed the town of East Greenwich. They opened their doors and their buckets of Halloween candy to us during their annual Halloween trick-or-treat down Main Street. It was so lovely, even if Grace was sans Astronaut costume for the event!!






























They even opened their fire house for an awesome, private tour of the fire engine!





































But the best part of our trip by far, was all of the quality time we got to spend with Danielle and Desi and with each other. Great friends always equals a great vacation!
