State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations: Part III

Before we knew it, Sunday was upon us.  The five of us worshiped at Albert's church in the Newport area.  Afterwards though, we probably witnessed very non-tourist event.  On any given day, but especially the weekends, many Rhode Islanders head to Ocean Drive State Park (just south of Fort Adams) to fly kites.  We were fortunate to arrive at a good time because there must have been over 100 kites in the air.  Despite the large number of pictures seen here, it won't do it justice.  I really enjoyed watching all the kites.  



This might indicate my excitement for kites.

Four different people were flying these kites.  Apparently they were training
for some synchronized trick competition .  They were astounding to watch.








Jellyfish?






More stunt kites, but with streamers this time!



And after hearing about how great it was, we finally tried some Dell's frozen lemonade.  It was delicious and refreshing on a very hot summer's day.




And with that, Tom, Andrea and I headed back to Binghamton.  Another long-weekend vacation is in the books and a month of summer left for all to enjoy.
