RI Hike #1: Chafee Nature Preserve at Rome Point

For Christmas I gave Andrew a short book of hikes in Rhode Island and we decided that one of our goals for this year would be to try to complete at least part of all the hikes in the book.  The weather here has been gorgeous so Sunday we got started.  The first hike was in North Kingstown only a few minutes from our house and seemed like as good as any to start with.  Also, it consisted of a walk through the woods out to the beach along the bay to Rome Point where there is a seal colony from October – April.  The hike was about 2.5 miles long and flat but there was a good stretch on the beach which gave our legs a nice workout.  Benjamin rode in the Ergo on me and Julia walked a little ways and was carried a bunch by Andrew on his shoulders (a pack for her to ride is one of our next planned purchases!).  Overall, it was a beautiful day and on Monday Julia was already asking me if we could go hiking again!
