Day 280 – Seafood Festival

The Newport Seafood Festival was this weekend. I headed over this afternoon as it was conveniently just a handful of blocks from my house. I asked my mom to meet me there because I just knew she would really enjoy this. Upon arriving I was pleased to see that it was much larger than I thought it would be. The festivals and activities in Newport are done so right and I am happy to have been a part of so many of them.

Anyhow, there were three different live bands playing on different sides of the festival. There were stands set up under tents and throughout the wharf with vendors and restaurants offering an amazing array of every kind of seafood that you can imagine. There were also quite a few beers and festive autumn drinks offered as well as multiple desserts.

I slowly wandered through the event, pausing to take time to listen to each of the bands as they were all very good. I sat on an Adirondack chair right on the water for a bit and just took it all in. Then when my mom met up with me, we went over to see the newest tall ship which was so cool – I just haven’t gotten used to these ships in the harbor, they are so neat to see.  Mom got some food but mostly we just hung out listening to music and enjoying the festivities offered. Although it was only in the 40’s, the sun was bright and peeping through the beautiful, large, white, billowy clouds in the sky. This to me was perfect, it made the Seafood Festival that much more authentic feeling in my opinion….it just felt so very New England and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

This was a beautiful day and great intention for sure. #Cheers #HGAL #HappySundayFunday
