Dear WRG....one last thing..Every summer I take my daughter to Narragansett Rhode Island.....The waves are soooo huge there....she always had such a good time...even by herself......Last summer we spent 10 days at Newport Rhode Island...we had such a good time there..We stayed at Inn on the Long Warf.....BUt we drove up the coast to Narragansett for the large waves......We even took the ferry to Block Island....Block Island is off the coast of Rhode Island...Much like Martha's Vineyard is off the coast of Mass. We had a good time and that is what matters....Now back to the real world.....that is all for now....
