We wondered around Providence for awhile.
Then, we ran into the Big Nazo lab. These guys were super cool. They let us run around their studio, playing with and trying on their big giant foam costumes.
They took the time to tell us all about their musical stage show and about all the festivals and gatherings that they participate in. We are definitely going to keep checking in on their schedule http://www.bignazo.com/ and try to check them out. Big Nazo has been to Minnesota, I hope they come back sometime.
Mr. Potato Head is the official travel ambassador of Rhode Island.
Then we took a drive over to Newport. Newport seems to be flush with money. With the biggest mansions you'd ever seen and many of multi million dollar yachts down by the water. I don't have any pictures of these mansions, it was dark by then. But, what I do have pictures of is...
A lobster shack...
Brad and Ol' Red Beard... Hhhmmmm....
A mysterious Viking tower...
The house and English car of the lady that invited us to her backyard to visit her cats and feed her big giant goldfish...
Lucky and the Hurdy Gurdy man...
These two seem to be pretty proud of themselves. We went way over 2 hour limit on the meter for this one, but were lucky enough not to get a ticket.
The Big Dick, knowing our appreciation for rock n roll, gave a us a great tip. Him being in the biz himself and working a lot on the east coast suggested we go pay our respects to the 99 people that had lost there life's in the big nightclub fire during a Great White concert in February 2003.
These photos are at the site of The Station nightclub. It is a small lot. Hard to imagine that a club could sit on it. A nice memorial is set up. Three people were quietly taking care of the grounds while we visited.

Man time is flying! It's been a while since I checked in and you guys have tons of stuff up on here. The pictures are awesome. Makes me wish I was back out there wandering the earth with a camera. Instead, it's just me and the G&R pinball machine. I guess I can't complain. :)
Every picture of Lucky is just brilliant. He's clearly running the show and taking good care of you guys.
Matt wants some lobster!! haha
the picturess of lucky are so cute i love it! is brad growing out his beard for the whole trip or what? i think he should shave it off!!!
looks like you guys are having a blast though!
Are you sure you won't be trying any lobster soon Sarah? Mike and Brad seem to be enjoying it. How does Brad manage to run into those bearded look alikes??? When does Carrie join the group?
Maizie decided that the running away and joining you guys wouldn't be very responsible, so i guess we won't be flying out anytime soon;-)
I can't believe you've already been gone as long as you have. Minneapolis misses you a ton.The city (and surrounding suburbs) just isn't as much fun without you guys. I still haven't beenn invited over by your house sitter though (hint, hint, Will:-))
Aaahhhh, Thanks guys.
We all are having a great time, while missing Mpls, at the same time. Lucky misses his friends and family, I miss my friends, my family and my bathtub. It's been 5 weeks today. Everyday has been full of fun stuff, so the time has been flying and Brad's beard just keeps on growing. We have been in Massachusetts for the past few days. Heading into Boston today and picking Carrie up around 5:30. There should be lots of love in the air. Brad's been lost without her.
Keep the commets going, we love to hear from everyone!
Love ya all, Sarah
