Weekend in Rhode Island

Rob had a weekend of races so we packed up and the family stayed at Motel 6 in Warwick Rhode Island. We got hideously lost with our mapquest directions on Friday night then got stuck rush hour in traffic through Worcester, but we made it to our highway hotel room where the girls were suprisingly impressed by our cheap hotel digs. "A shower!! Towels!!! A TV and Two Beds!! An Ice Machine in the lobby!!"

Here's Lily checking out the phone and inadvertently talking to the guy at the desk telling her to come pick up our hurriedly packed toiletry/grocery bag we'd left in the lobby.



Rob looking pretty happy after his first race of the weekend!
He's in the middle of the pack now throughout the races, which is an enormous improvement from last year (not that I care; I just want him to survive intact!)


















Thanks goodness the forcast was wrong and it didn't rain.
It was sunny and 65 degrees.
Here's Georgia getting chased by Rob and Lily while we wait for the next race to start.



So much for the Primal diet. We ate at Dunkin Donuts, McDonalds and the Food Court at the mall. I felt yucky after my mall Chinese food, but couldn't resist.










There was a Carousel at Roger William's Park so we gave that a try. Lily loved it and moved from her static sea monster to a moving horse mid-ride. I was impressed. Georgia didn't want me to let go of her and had no intention of getting aboard that thing more than once.












It was really beautiful. I loved the white rabbit, the giraffe and the horses moving smoothly up and down with the crazy music.
