Newport, Foxboro Pt. 2, Providence

5/11/2014

Busy, busy day today. It started by us taking a drive around Newport. We saw tons of mansions that, while they were cool to see, really just made us angry. One reason is because we obviously can't and will never be able to afford them (musician's salary, after all), and the other reason is because you can't go in and look at them unless you pay. That's another thing about New England. They nickel and dime you on everything they can, especially parks and your day to day driving. You want to cross that bridge? That'll be $4.00. Oh well, they were nice to look at and dream about!

Beautiful (Newport, RI)

The weather today was probably the best we've had this whole trip. There was hardly a cloud in the sky. Chelsea met us after we did some mansion touring and we had lunch on the docks in Newport. Afterwards, we headed back to Foxboro for more of that awesome sushi! There was a soccer game at Gillette Stadium, so it was very busy and there were more parts of the stadium that were open compared to last time!

The ProShop! (Foxboro, MA)

This place is huge!

We spent tons of time looking through the ProShop. Apparently, last time I was at Gillette I went into the smaller version of the shop and didn't even know it! The real ProShop is much bigger. The sushi was awesome again and we will be going back tomorrow for lunch. After all, we are staying in a hotel just a mile up the road from the stadium!

This is the sidewalk at the shopping center at Patriot Place.

After eating, we drove to Providence. This trip to Providence was one of the most exciting parts about our trip. We bought tickets way in advance to see the tour of "The Book Of Mormon". The show was spectacular!
