Day Four (July 29) we left Vermont and went through a small part of New Hampshire and on into Massachusetts.

We found a really nice restaurant called Quabbin Woods Restaurant to eat breakfast. It was in Petersham, Massachusetts. Then we drove through Massachusetts, and into Connecticut and then into our fifth state of the day…Rhode Island!

Two years ago in fourth grade I did a report on Rhode Island for school. I was so excited to finally get to visit!
We first drove across a bridge to Conanicut Island. There was a great lighthouse and and I got my first look at the Atlantic Ocean!
We went to Beavertail State Park and we walked along a ridge that looked out to the ocean. We saw scuba divers, snorklers and my first of many LIFERS, Black-backed Gulls! My second LIFER of the trip I also saw here: a Common Eider! Then we went down this narrow, trail down to a rocky area near a beach. It was really cool.
We drove to Newport Island and found an Osprey nest. We did some shopping for souvenirs and then went to our motel in Middletown, Rhode Island.

And I guess the ospreys weren’t too hungry, seeing there was a stupid house sparrow lurking around on the same pole. ;o)
Mary - they must not have been hungry, they would have had a good snack!
