There is something quite amazing about starting the work week on a Wednesday!! We had the absolute best time this weekend with family and friends! From a quick day trip to Newport to exploring Boston, it was wonderful!! I almost feel like I need a few two-a-days at the gym this week to work off all the good food we ate, but we walked miles upon miles so maybe that helped offset things! Warning – photo overload ahead!

Saturday we made the quick drive to Newport, RI since my cousin and his wife had never been. For lunch we decided on Castle Hill Inn and enjoying their beautiful lawn that overlooks the water. Of course I had the lobster roll which was promptly devoured! We spent a couple hours eating and enjoying the views and may or may not have spotted Taylor Swift’s house across the way! We met up with Tom & Jackie along the cliff walk, stumbled upon a wedding at The Breakers & made our way down to the wharf for dinner.
My sister invited us all over for a family BBQ – any day we can escape to this oasis is a good day! Our other cousins from out of state were also visiting so it really was a full fledged family day! We had the best time with the kids in the pool, playing some lawn games – the girls crushed the boys in ladder toss – and ate our weight in burgers and hot dogs!!
Monday was the new Sunday Fun-Day!! I love being able to show off Boston’s best spots – especially when the weather is fantastic!! The Lawn on D& Envoy Hotel’s Roofdeck Bar were two new spots that have opened since the last time Ross & Kathy visited. We played some epic games of Jenga & then followed it up with my first ever Frozé from Eataly!
We capped off the festive weekend with friends enjoying more food and some skyline views!! This was probably one of the most fun 4th’s we’ve had in a long time and we’ve already started planning the next one!! I’d like to also take a minute and say how excited I am that the color I got this weekend was not due to any filters on instagram – for once I didn’t burn! How was your holiday weekend? Link up below to share!

Awwww looks like such a fabulous weekend and you could not have asked for any better weather! Newport is seriously one of my favorite spots and such yummy food! I agree all work weeks should start on Wednesday.
It looks like you had a fabulous weekend in all different spots! I'm always happy that after my favorite holiday comes my favorite annual trip to Newport. You talking about The Breakers and lobster rolls has me dying to get through this 3 day work week! I still need to find a place to try frosé!
