Summer Vacation 2010 Day 1

We don’t travel much.  Well, not as much as we would like to.  Mostly because I don’t know how to plan vacations like normal people, but thanks to the worse-than-sluggish economy, my employer is requiring its employees to take a week off in July as they did last year, and we have decided to travel to Providence, Rhode Island, of all places.

We were watching a HGTV show one day (I think it was House Hunters, or something…), and it was about Boston area.  It was briefly talking about fresh seafood in the area, and we were, like, mmm…, and then, oooh…, then like, “why don’t we travel to New England for some good seafood?”.  We’ve lived in Midwest for the last 2 decades (almost 3 for Dawn), and good seafood is hard to come by.  And we LOVE seafood.  After some researching, we decided that Providence would be a good balance between budget and objectives.

I hope to post some pictures as a live journal of our trip for the next few days.
Here are a few from Day1!

Starbucks breakfast at CVG Airport.  Let the spending begin!!

Legal Sea Foods, right by Providence Airport.  I said she could have anything she liked, but jeez!  Look at that plate!  And this is just the starter!

We checked into a hotel, played with Dawn’s newly purchased Nintendo DSi (who knew making faces at a camera could be so hysterically funny), and called it the first day.  So far so good!
