Day 181 – Kite Festival

Today for my intention we went to the Newport Kite Festival. It was out at Brenton Point State Park which is surrounded by water on every side. It is actually famous for kite flying so when I heard there was going to be a kite festival, I knew I just had to go! I personally don’t fly kites but have seen some so large being flown there that they actually require 2 people to operate.

Vinny had to run into work for a bit today so mom and I went to the festival ourselves, took beach chairs and after walking around a bit we put the chairs down and enjoyed the show. There were not only professionals flying kites but they had a bunch for sale so there were people everywhere flying them as well. All shapes, all sizes, all ages. It was the warmest day of the season so far here and not as much breeze as there usually is on that point but it was fun to sit in the sun, listen to the music and watch the performances being done. They actually had a guy that flew his kite synchronized to a song and it was neat to me that people can really do that.

Anyhow, after we left the show we went over to Fort Adams to look at one of the tall ships pulled into the bay. There was a surf fest going on so there were a lot of people there too. We went shopping around for a bit then met up with Vinny. We all went out to an early dinner and then to a movie.

This was a really good day. #summerdays #HGAL #kiteskitesandmorekites
