While the day was hot and sticky here in the valley, the air conditioned bus and ocean breezes kept us comfortable. While in Newport we had a chance to wander around the port for a lunch break, next we toured two mansions, the Breakers and Marble House. We then enjoyed a bus ride to Ware, where we boarded a boat for a 4 hour dinner cruise. The food was fantastic, the boat ride was plesant, and floating around the harbor with all the tall ships was unforgetable. The captian told us about each boat as we sailed past. On the bus ride home we enjoyed a movie. http://gibsoncenter.org/gallery/071707Silver-Lake-Picnic 4daa3b9dd6c02e1b5bddd2028072e94e Thu, 19 Mar 2009 22:18:42 +0000 http://gibsoncenter.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=071707Silver-Lake-Picnic http://gibsoncenter.org/albums/071707Silver-Lake-Picnic/Silver_Lake_Picnic_07_003.thumb.jpg http://gibsoncenter.org/albums/071707Silver-Lake-Picnic/Silver_Lake_Picnic_07_003.sized.jpg http://gibsoncenter.org/albums/071707Silver-Lake-Picnic/Silver_Lake_Picnic_07_003.thumb.jpg 144 144 Our annual Silver Lake Landing Picnic was held on a picture perfect day.
