Visiting Rhode Island 2011 - Bowen's Wharf
Last July, we went for our 2nd visit to Newport, Rhode Island to celebrate Shian's birthday. We really love this city. It's about a 3 hour trip from Albany, surrounded by water and there's a lot of interesting things to do. This time around, we decided to stay near downtown Newport and just explore and relax.
We just love this car! He just had a bath and the lighting was nice with all the reflections. It is a 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and I think I like the look of this generation more than the new 2012's.
I wasn't really sleepy ^^,
It was raining hard when we left Albany but it did stop when we reached Rhode Island. As we were crossing the first bridge (I forgot the name), half of it was covered with fog and It felt like something out of a zombie movie. Really Creepy.
We ate at The Black Pearl down at Bowen's Wharf. Loved their clam chowder but also loved their lobster roll. Can't wait to go back to have some more!
Shian had the Grilled Shrimp and Scallops. Yum!
There is a small balcony at the back of the Aquidneck Lobster Co. Wharf with a great view of the harbor.
Always loved how a huskie's eyes are so intense (and blue). One of my favorite James Bond cars - The Aston Martin Vanquish. We also saw a bunch of Ferraris, Porsche, Lambos, Benz AMGs...

Isaiah's Baptism
Last September 18, we went to the christening of Gen+Ina's son, Isaiah, and we were honored to be a part of the celebration as one of the Godparents. We have been to a couple of Christening's since coming to the US and it's always a joy to share in the happiness of having a baby be a part of the Catholic family. Traditionally here in the US, they only have a pair of Godparents but being from the Philippines... it is nice that the tradition of having at least 3-7 pairs have crossed over too. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the Baptism. Enjoy!
