September 19 - Wine Tasting

We started the morning with a spinach and cheese frittata, fried potatoes, bacon, fresh pineapple, cranberry bread, juice and coffee.

We walked back to the wharf one last time and went through the lobster house. We watched a lobster boat come in. The lobster boats are docked right next to the multimillion dollar yachts.

We stopped at Nikolas Pizza for lunch before driving out to Greenvale Vineyard. We ate our pizza at the restaurant, but realized after we got to the vineyard…we should have brought it with us as a picnic. The Vineyard was absolutely beautiful…as well as the day. Kyle and Bryt had called ahead and set us up with the Jazz Wine Tasting. We tasted six wines, took a tour of the vineyard, and relaxed on the lawn listening to music. What a great day. The Vineyard sits on 24 acres over looking the Sakonnet River (bay)…gorgeous.

It was such a pretty day we decided to go back to the Castle Hill Lighthouse. We took a trail down to the lighthouse from the resort. Stan relaxed in the Adirondack chairs watching the sailboats while I took pictures of the lighthouse.

We later moved over to the Castle Hill Resort lawn to watch the boats…we had a pretty lazy relaxing day. The lawn at the resort is a popular place to watch the sunset.

We had dinner at Busker’s Irish Pub. Stan had his usual salmon and I had the shepherd’s pie (not as good as mine). After dinner we headed back to the inn. Two other couples were visiting in the sitting room so we talked with them for an hour or so. We had a good time visiting with people on this trip.

Home tomorrow.
