Beach House in R.I.

This vacation was back in August (still catching up on the blog site), and let me tell you all it was one that will go down in history. We had such a great time that we already booked next year's return to the beach house. Rebecca, Lucky, and I met my mom, dad, and brother back home in R.I. We got our hands on a family beach house down in Narragansett for a week. Below is the fun that followed.

Just a block from the ocean

Each morning we would walk to the shore and enjoy a cup of coffee and the fresh ocean breeze.


The Three T's as my mom calls us.
Good gravy! look at the size of that thing! We ate lobster, in some form, every day. I love the East Coast.

The famous Iggy's. We stopped here a few time for the best clam cakes in RI.
Double-fisting! With our family, food is generally the most important part of any trip.

We took the ferry over to Block Island which is about 12miles off the coast of RI.

Catching up with the Conti's and Martone's. Yeah there's only one Yankee's fan in the family.

Doug, Michelle, and Ethan came by to visit.
The old crew back together (Chris, Me, Doug, and Josh)

Luciano got to see his Great Aunt Anna.
....and his Great Grandma Julie. It was awesome getting to see them together.

Luciano's first trip to Twin Oaks, one of the best Italian Restaurants in the state.
Here we got together with my Aunt Anne, Uncle Bill, Cousin Maria, her newborn son, Dominic, and daughter Charae. What a meal.

Our traditional Taraborelli and Moran picture (with me making a stupid face). We were only missing Mark and his clan. This picture has been taken for over 20 years.
Luciano loved the ocean and the sand.

A true beach-bum. Pun intended.

Ahhh, and who could forget the grand finale of the whole week. We took a trip up to Federal Hill, the Italian district, and made a stop at the world famous, Artistic Tattoo. And there is Nanina, my mom, getting a tattoo! That's right folks a tattoo. Way to go mom!
