Morning car show & afternoon cruise

 We started our Saturday morning in Newport - at a cars & coffee event at one of the mansions.  They allow any cars in - so unfortunately we have to look at nerdy cars that you can see at any car lot.  People are so weird - power parking their sedans...
 But the coffee is good
 The company is great
 the view of the mansions is spectacular
 and there are a few cool cars sprinkled in to keep it interesting
 The corvette group - ugh.  Now we are part of this gold chain gang.  But at least Chris races his...
 We saw our friends Scott & Gwen at this event too
 See - a cool car (at least to us)

 Bolts found something smelly to roll in :)

 This car did the Peking to Paris rally.  Now that would be a fun & crazy trip!  Our friend Bill also did this race (he lives in England)
 A nice group of cars for this foggy gray morning

 We drove our old standby -
 It was a quick 2 hour show then we were off!
 The trees on this property were so big!  They are native to Europe - so the original owner had them shipped over
 We like to do the Ocean Drive whenever we come to Newport




 Then we headed to Padanaram - our favorite MA coastal town
 We had a late breakfast
 and enjoyed walking around town
 We have to walk through the Marina too :)

 Bolts got excited watching some kids catch fish



 We took the backroads home - we used to ride our bicycles on all these roads
