Navy, Newport, and New buddies










As I'm beginning this post, I'm sitting in a cozy hotel suite watching the snow fall outside.  Now fast forward 3 days and I'm finally finishing this blog after spending a gorgeously sunny and warm day outside.  Weather is so unpredictable...how's a girl supposed to know how to pack for a getaway??? ;)


We went to Newport, RI for our friend's graduation from the Navy Nursing Corp.  We've known her brother since our Seattle years, lived with him in San Diego, and have been friends with the entire Chase family ever since.  They are the loveliest family around and were so happy when we found out they would all be flying to the East coast for the graduation.

I would highly recommend the Pelham Court Hotel to anyone wanting to visit Newport:

The staff is incredibly accommodating.
All the rooms are suites with kitchen and living rooms (absolutely ideal with kids).
Continental breakfast is provided.
And the hotel is just steps from Thames St. shopping, eating, sight-seeing, etc.
