Friendly Faces
(I didn't get many pictures with friends, dang it!)
Jessica & Gabby Diaz
Hero Bremer & Atticus
Atticus had his first biscuit at the Bremer's
Atticus with the Kohl's
Atticus with Jennifer Mello
Roger (Rodga, Baby Whisperer, etc.) and Atticus. This man has such a BIG heart! He holds all the little ones at church just to give us parents a little break. Him and Carmen even let me use their car for the week. Amazing I tell ya! Love you guys! Familiar Places!
Tracy & I ate here Saturday and had French Toast with carmelized bananas, delicious! Adam and I used to eat here a lot and romanticize our future...
Old theaters we used to spend lots of our time at when we first moved to Newport. There's nothing like an old, authentic place to catch a good flick!
The Hotel Viking was just a few houses down from our first apartment on Kay Street. It was on the way when we used to walk to the movies on Friday and Saturday nights.
Best Buffalo Chicken Pizza can be found here! This was an all time favorite restaurant of ours.
This one's for you Adam! Best Buy came to the island, right by Home Depot where the Christian store was.
One of my favorite highlights was bundling up Atticus and taking him down to Thames street. We walked around everywhere! It was one of my favorite things to do living there. Atticus enjoyed the bumpy cobblestone paths, while I had the worst time lifting him and his stroller up (and down) into all the shops I wanted to check out. This was a very memorable day for me that I will always cherish. :)

I think I have more appreciation for this historical landmark now than I did before... Trinity Church. We used to think it looked like an LDS temple in Newport.
We all have people and places that come in and out of our lives. It felt the same as we had left it, but I was certainly changed. As I spent the week in Newport, I appreciated the life I had once had there. I felt warm and content. While reflecting on this, I also came to a new found appreciation for the life we now lead in Seattle. I realized that someday when we've moved on again, I want to return to Seattle with the same warm feelings I had returning to Newport. Seattle IS a wonderful place and has always been so good to us. It has been in Seattle that I began my career as a teacher, had my first child Atticus, made a life long friend in Brandi and some others, lived near Adam's relatives, and was closer to my family in Utah. Even though it seemed we had delved deep into a new life in Seattle, visiting Newport helped me realize that I still haven't given it my all there to create a sense of home and well-being that I had in Newport, RI. I have a lot of work ahead.

Your trip sounds so fun Marie, I wish I could have been there as well. My favorite picture is the one of Atticus and Hero :)
