25th bday roadtrip to newport, RI ~ bowen's wharf seafood festival

here are a few of my fave pictures from the 600+ taken that weekend! we are definitely going back again next year :o)

day 1 - unpacking all of our snacks that we brought up. waaaaaay to many ramen noodles!









BREAKFAST BURRITO!!!! super yum-O


















my first lobster roll of the weekend

we decided to stop spending money at restaurants and be our own chefs for the rest of the weekend! here's a stop at the wharf to pick up some of our little friends....$7 1 and 1/4 lobsters and stone crabs!
























my friend, SP the fisherman/marine biologist, is also the losbster whisperer. since we are against cruelty to animals, we "put them to sleep" before throwing them into the pot. above is a picture of them doing meditation.

and this is only HALF of what we ate!

the next day was the actual seafood festival: http://www.bowenswharf.com/Pages/Wharf/Festivals.html









of course had to have our filipino breakfast first: spam, eggs and garlic fried rice!

that'a boy reginald! i'm proud of you for eating all that seafood :o)

that night we finished up what was left of the seafood and the boys grilled up some steaks since we all felt like we were going to turn into lobsters and be under the sea..

love this picture of the crabs...thanks sp for being the designated photographer!

yay for coffeehouse crunch cake from coldstone!

and just a cool picture i wanted to throw in - sp and reggie had fun with laser pointers and the camera.

THE END! now i sit in sadness with my 2 favorite things - a beer and my blackberry :o)
