Kids n' animals...animals and kids
Pawtuxet Says: they kind of go together, don't they?the good old sheep dog got a day off...and lots of attention.
Of course I love the house....
Pawtuxet Says: It's something about the "feel" of these wonderful old 1700's houses that just gets me at the first sight of them. I don't know if I lived a previous life in one of these houses, but they just feel so familiar to me...and always have. I could sit and stare at an old batten...
Knowing what to do with the wool
Pawtuxet Says: Several weavers were at the farm to show everyone how to operate a loom and sometimes to give the youngsters an opportunity to try their hand at it. They were very patient in explaining...even to adults... the various steps along the way from sheep to sweater.
Make believe farmers ride the plow
Pawtuxet Says: Old plows and tractors are scattered around the property and noone seems to care when the kids climb all over them...pretending to plow the fields or haul the hay.
Young Docents with work they love to do
Pawtuxet Says: The Docents have the job of taking the sheep for a walk on a leash. Others were just carrying the babies around and enjoying the companionship. It was nice to see the young teenagers involved in this kind of activity.
Pawtuxet Says: Families love coming out for this day. Watson Farm has sheep to be sheared, weavers who demonstrate on a couple of different types of looms, and general all-natural fun on a sunny day.
mikelisaanna Says: This is a very small, simple aquarium located in the Beavertail Lighthouse's old foghorn building. The aquarium's exhibits focus on creatures that live along the Rhode Island coastline, and are fun for small children.
mikelisaanna Says: Beavertail State Park is a pleasant little state park that occupies the southern end of Conanicut Island. The park features the historic Beavertail Lighthouse and Museum, a small aquarium, and a rugged coastline that is interesting to walk along.
Bearvertail Lighthouse and Museum
mikelisaanna Says: The Beavertail Lighthouse stands at the southern end of Conanicut Island in Beavertail State Park. Lighthouses have stood on this spot since the 1700s; the current lighthouse was built in 1856. Adjacent to the lighthouse is an excellent little museum which covers the history...
dracko Says: OSS is the only dive shop on the island and it's a pretty good one. It's a full-service shop, the staff know the area well and there are lots of resources inside on local diving. Their airfills are good and reasonably priced ($5). The fill station is outside, right on the...
dracko Says: Tricia's is a nice restaurant in the center of town. They're open all day, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We ate there a couple of times and the food was fresh and delicious. Prices are reasonable too. They serve just about everything, from seafood, to burgers, steaks,...
tapit123 Says: There are RIPTA buses from Jamestown to almost anywhere in the state. They're clean and fast, but don't run very often.
Pawtuxet Says: Noticed these cows in a nearby pasture....with a sort of "belted" marking. They even had a fluff to the back of their necks similar to a horse's mane. We were pretty surprised to see them after just having seen the strange markings on the pigs at Casey Farm. Hoping someone...
Pawtuxet Says: The house next door to the windmill has the advantage of fabulous views to the wind mill as well as the Pell Bridge...and of course... the cows. I'm not sure if this is the groundskeeper for the mill property, but they do a great job at caring for their property. Very...
Pawtuxet Says: the old wind mill is owned by the Jamestown Historical Society and maintained beautifully. You can just pull over at the side of the road and walk into the property where the wind mill is located. From the expansive lawns you get a fabulous view of the Pell Bridge to...
Views to the bridge..lazy cows...sunshine...
Pawtuxet Says: There are many such views in Jamestown..but being around the windmill makes it just a little more special.
dracko Says: Potter cove is located just North of the Newport bridge, almost under it, with a Northerly exposure. It's one of those sites that gives you an opportunity to get into the water when the nicer South-exposed sites are blown out. On days like that Potter Cove tends to be pretty...
dracko Says: Ft. Wetherill is probably the most popular dive site in Jamestown. There are two coves to pick from, the left and the right. They both face South and are pretty well protected from most but southerly winds. Best diving is along the walls in the coves - there is plenty of...
Fort Wetherill is a great dive...
diver-x Says: Fort Wetherill is a great dive for beginners and there is plenty to interest the more advanced diver too. A small peninsula separates two coves. One cove is rocky, the other is gravelly and sandy and also has a boat ramp. You can enter in one cove and swim around to the...
