This week I celebrated Cupcake Friday instead of Cupcake Saturday and tried out a different location of Cupcake Charlie's! So much adventure in my life! :) I have accumulated some vacation time and decided to take a 4 day weekend for myself, which I haven't done in over a year! It was a nice, relaxing weekend...which kicked off with a spontaneous trip to Newport, RI to meet a friend and her husband (who were visiting New England from PA) for lunch! I haven't seen this friend in over a year and it was nice to see her and spend some time walking around Newport, which is always beautiful. We ate lunch at The Black Pearl (arrrggghhhh) and then, even though my stomach was way beyond full, we headed to the Newport location of Cupcake Charlie's for dessert. My friend follows my Cupcake Saturday adventures on Facebook and wanted to try the real thing herself. She got Peanut Butter Overload, which I recommended highly, and I tried the Raspberry Lemonade, which was the flavor of the day. The cupcake was so moist and soft! It practically melted in my mouth! It had a lemon meringue filling and a lemon frosting on top, with raspberry frosting dotted in the center. It came with a cute straw, as if it were a lemonade. It was really good and refreshing. I was glad I got something light b/c I am not sure my stomach would've managed something rich after a big lunch! Afterwards we headed to the Cliff Walk by the mansions and it was absolutely beautiful. I have been there several times before but am always amazed at how lovely it is there and how impressive the mansions are. To think that they were only the "summer" homes for most of their owners. To wake up to that glorious view every morning must have been wonderful! All in all, it was a nice Cupcake Friday, spent with good friends. Back to work on Tuesday...
