So we are in the market for a new house, so if you know of any send any tips our way. The issue is house hunting has just become one more thing in our never ending list of to do's. I think our real estate agent has questioned our commitment to this move as we've looked at none and been in the market for close to 2 months now. The problem is house hunting is really about neighborhood hunting which requires drive-bys and we aren't looking in areas that close to home. This week being "Staycation", house hunting was moved up on the priority list. Today we planned to stalk out some places in North Kingstown and go running/riding on the South County Bike Trail. See the two birds/one stone thinking here? Mission accomplished, and the bike path made us fall even more in love with the area. So as we were excitedly chattering about what next and would this really happen it became apparent that our run/ride happened on a bike path but not South County. I'll just take this moment to point out that Joe has lived in lil rhody his entire life so it's a bit inexcusable that he had no idea we weren't on the right path. I'm going to play the whole I'm-not-native-card, since I was 21 when I moved here I'm using this card for the next 11 years. A quick google search showed just by accident we stumbled upon the Quonset Bike Path, until today we never knew it existed. Only 5 miles but flat and shaded a perfect place for some repeats if you wanted off the blvd and a change of scenery, also good for some tempo mileage. And it happens to be right by a Dave's Market so if you needed to refuel, the options are endless! Someday we'll find the South County trail but for now this worked perfectly.
Ran 4 quick miles

That's so RI!! I lived in RI my whole life, moved away for a while, then came back as an adult... Would you believe (you probably would) that it was when I came back, as an adult, that I went to Cumberland, Burrilville, Foster, Scituate... FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. Plus, the street signs are severely lacking, like, "If you don't know where you are- if you don't know what used to be at this corner 20 years ago- we're not going to tell you."
Anyway, South County is gorgeous and I totally know that Dave's. LOVE the prepared foods there (especially the stuffies!!). Good luck with the house hunt.
