Block Island, RI

September 18, 2008

Melissa, Kris, and Dennis took a trip to Block Island one bright and chilly day in September. We rode the High Speed Ferry from New London, CT. to Block Island, RI.

The ride on the ferry (check it out!) was a blast at 40 mph. If you miss the point, that generates a constant wind of 40 mph.

               

Once the Island, we rented a car (a Mustang!) and drove around. We stopped at the lighthouse and had a picnic on the lawn there.

     

The island is surrounded by beaches - as most islands are - and Kris and Melissa chose to walk down the long, long steps from the parking lot to the shore and stroll along the water's edge.
