Newport Rhode Island, Folk Fest 2011

Off we fly to Providence RI, where we will travel to Newport for a weekend with friends. Where we were about to embark on four days of non-stop live music. When the festival wasn't going on we were at the blues cafe for more and more music. It was incredible.

 We rented a house with a group of Karalee's friends. By day we rode bikes, ate seafood, drank Dark and Stormy's, and soaked up the sun at the folk festival.. By night we road bikes, drank more Dark and Stormy's, ate more seafood, and boogied to our favorite musicians. The line up was truly epic.
