Newport & New Adventures

This week's summer adventures bring us to the beautiful town of Newport, Rhode Island. Home of a classic American summer. With stops at The Landing, The Wharf Pub, and Brick Alley  it was a fine afternoon to take in some sun, enjoy a few drinks, and catch the Belmont Stake at a local pub. 

Oysters, soft shell crab, and well constructed cocktails were all on the menu for a Belmont Saturday spent in Rhode Island. Town was bustling. Kiel James Patrick & Sarah Vickers even made an appearance down at the wharf as their adventure crew rolled through. 

If Newport isn't already on your summer list, mark it down as your next adventure in the heart and soul of New England.

Find beaches where none exist: Puffers Pond

You won't find a beach everywhere you go. Life ain't that easy. Sometimes you have to create your own. This one is called Puffers Pond and is located in the fine town of Amherst, MA. A solid hangout spot for warm summer days in the Pioneer Valley.

If you are wearing anything but boat shoes to the beach, you're doing it wrong. Sperrys are a way of life and are almost a necessity for all things summer. 

Classic Clubmasters in tortoiseshell to shield your eyes from the UV rays emitted from outer space. Never the wrong choice on a hot summer day.
