I love the way your write! It's so captivating to read of your travels and feel like we're there with you. The nostalgic history bits woven in are perhaps my favorite. It was lovely to see the photos from JFK and Jackie's wedding and the quotes related to it. I'd love to read anything you want to write about these beautiful historical families you're so well versed on. It's beyond interesting.

Love to read of your adventures! What a life you’re living!

Taking notes for my 49 state USA tour next year. Me and my cat (I guess I’m a cat lady, though not childless 🤣) driving around the country. Keep bringing us the news, Jessica!

A part of the country I’ve never been to before and I’m from the US. We love our European trips but gosh we got some good spots here too.

We certainly do!

Epic photos with a legend. Newport and southern Rhode Island are hidden gems. The tennis hall of fame is worth checking out, plus its grass courts are open to the public. Beavertail state park in Jamestown, Matunck Oyster Bar, and Watch Hill are great too. Dell’s frozen ice and Narragansett Beer are perfect in the summer. As family guy warned, don’t tell the New Yorkers about it.

Thank you, Yuri! I’ll add it to our list upon return. We love it so much. Any excuse to get back is good by me.

You are the boat queen Jessica! I still can't get the SNL sketch with Melissa McCarthy as Sean S, out of my head. She was brilliant. He actually seems like a good guy and a great tour guide. I grew up in Manhattan and I've been up and down the east coast but never to Rhode Island. I only knew Brown University was there. You're better than TripAdvisor! My friend used to get sea sick and she would chew Trident gum--original flavor--and focus on a point on the horizon. Hayes won't remember being sea sick but he will remember all of the fun adventures! sabrinalabow.substack.com

This was mesmerizing! Would love to know who it is stroking Jackie's dress like a lovie blankie in the photo.

Homeopathic remedy Cocculus Indica, 30c (can get on amazon) is a fabulous preventative and remedy for seasickness. The wrist bands are great, too.

Fascinating tales aside, this is an incredible visitors guide for Newport!

Oh, I meant to tell you, for Hayes, order him a Relief Band watch off of Amazon for seasickness. I was given one you wear while out on a sailboat years ago and immediately bought my own just incase. Works so well instantly.

This was another captivating read. So much Americana and spicy history in New England. And I LOVE that Sean Spicer gave you a travel guide to the town. And also a boat ride. Epic!

Well I’ll have to add this location to my bucket list. Seafood at its local best I’m sure! The Kennedys wedding photos and stories are interesting. Imagine being present! Sean inviting you and your family is so impressive. I am curious about what he has to say about Kamala and Walz. And about our current state of Natl security.

What fun!! Thank you for sharing it with us. Has Hayes tried the nausea sea bands? My son found they worked for his motion sickness. Thank you for

No, not yet. Thank you. We’ll try it!

It is acupressure- some use them for morning sickness. My son was about Hayes' age when he started using them. That was his go to.. He is much older now and still keeps a pair in his car!
