Block Island is one of our favorite day trips. It's pretty amazing all year round, but September might be perfect. Here are some shots from our phone while biking around the island earlier this week.
Happy 4th of July!

The Cliff Walk in Newport, RI, is a public access walk that runs from the east end of Bailey's Beach to the western end of First Beach. At 3.5 miles / 5.6 kilometers long, the trail runs behind many of the famous gilded-age Mansions along the New England coast - it's pretty awesome. Here are some pictures from our friends Jon and Kira!
