City Park
City Park is a strange little smorgasbord of dog parks, basketball courts, baseball fields, beaches, playgrounds, bike paths, and parking lots. There is even the Warwick Asylum (Poor Farm) Cemetery.

Salter Grove
It's a good thing that pictures don't share smells. Not the cleanest little cove, but it has a strange beauty to it.

Conimicut Point
Conimicut Point is a little park on a stretch of land that sticks out into Narragansett Bay. There is a lighthouse a little ways off shore to mark a sand bar that runs out even further into the bay. It was pretty windy when we were there. Sarita lost her hat and we saw a chihuahua get blown out to sea.

Providence!
Aquidneck Lobster Co.
We decided to celebrate with an early Valentine's Day dinner the weekend before Valentine's Day. The lobsters were both close to 4 lbs. So it turns out you CAN have too much lobster. We were pretty stuffed afterwards. The claws on Jesse's lobster were indestructible so he had to get creative and use a hand saw, among other things...

Where's Sarita?
Bowen's Wharf.
Where the deals go down.
Some of the lobsters looked like prehistoric sea monsters.
And this is the small one!
We used cookie sheets to contain the mess.
One of the tails. The claws were incredibly difficult to crack since they were so big.
Seal Watching
The tour was a little shorter than we had anticipated, but the money all went to a good cause. Save The Bay does a lot to help educate the public as well as work on other efforts that help improve Narragansett Bay.

Lovely banana poses all around.

Beavertail
The lighthouse is on the southernmost point of the island where Jamestown is located.

Crazy Burger!
Crazy Burger's claim to fame is that it was once featured on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." The food was great. The burgers were a little crazy so Jesse got a crazy pizza instead.
