point judith RI

///////\\\\\\\

yesterday’s warm weather got me thinking about an late summer trip we took to point judith RI. the weather was just like yesterdays, warm & breezy. we were looking to cruise the coast and maybe stop into the matunuck oyster bar. the bar was jammed when we drove up so we decided to find out seasfood fix down the road a bit. we stumbled upon what i believe to be the best fried fish shack in new england….champlin’s. they had out of this world clam cakes and served their fried fish with little red potatoes rather than the standard french fries. i wandered the docks below the balcony, snapped these pics, as eric waited on our food.

following our lounge session on Sandy Neck beach we stuck to tradition and found a late lunch at the nearest clam shack.  that happened to be captain frosty’s. I had fried smelts and eric devoured some fried clams.usually these places don’t have too much of a dining area but the Captain’s did. it was clad in old knotty pine inside and the patio was under the cover of a big old oak tree. I absolutely love the signage too! i wish i had some reason to have a sign lettered up just like that for my kitchen. For old salt and little sailors….. !

Insta Wknd

///////\\\\\\\

it’s a bit of an extended version of Insta Wknd due to the long weekend. i kicked it off with a haircut on friday night followed by a FRY-day party at conor’s and a showing of “the saddest music in the world”.  We celebrated our friends’ joe and missy’s double b-day on Saturday night with drinks and a ridiculous game called “bite the bag”. Sunday found me in NH thrifting with the ladies, and i made a massive new england discovery….Savers! the bigest bestest thrift shop i’ve been to. Umm, $6 Calvin Klein wool blazer amongst many other gems 🙂  then presidents day was relaxed (see miss cleo above!) and ended with us seeing the Portlandia the tour at Berklee! It was pretty kick-ass. J Mascis and Eleanor Friedberger were the surprise special guests. they did not disappoint!
