June 9, Saturday
Spent three nights and two days at Groton, Connecticut. A good break from driving. On Saturday we went to Jamestown and Newport, Rhode Island. In Jamestown which is on Conanicut Island we went to the Bevertail Lighthouse.  This is the third oldest lighthouse in the United States. The town is a cute some beach town with small shops, restaurants, and marina.

Then on to Newport, Rhode Island. We went to the White Horse Tavern for lunch. This is where my brother Mark met his wife Mickey. This is the oldest tavern in the US.  We had a great lunch, salad and more lobster in their Lobster Mac & Cheese. It was very good.  The town was very busy with a lot of tourist.  We looked at a lot of the "Cottages" which are actually mansions.  Saw the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

Came back to Groton and had dinner at Abbott's Lobster Shack.  It sits on the bay and has good prices for lobsters.  They have fresh lobsters starting at 1 1/2 lbs up to 9 lbs.  We had a 2 1/2 lb lobster, with clam chowder, and salad. Great food, great view, and great company.....
