We've been spending lots of time at the Newport mansions. We've found some new favorites in the "tiny" mansions.
Last week we experienced the "servant life tour" where you go behind the
scenes at The Elms. It was pretty amazing! I recommend it to anyone
who's going to tour the mansions. At the end they take you to see the view from the top of The Elms. Sadly, the servants couldn't see the view due to the 7 foot wall blocking/hiding the servants quarters.

In other exciting news, my sister Laura came for a visit a few weeks back. We did the usual "first time to RI" tour. Boston, Newport Mansions, Beavertail Lighthouse,Water Fire, Martha's Vineyard, etc.

It was such a fun time, minus the few mishaps along the way. Who's coming to visit next??

Looks like fun I want to be your sister.
ReplyDeleteA few things I need your help with:
Where do you get your favorite seafood bisque?
What did you do in Martha's Vineyard, I am trying to decide if we should just rent bikes or should we go on a tour of the island via bus or van?
I want to be in your family! Will you adopt me?
ReplyDeleteI hear mopeds can be fun, but I would most definitely choose a bike :) Martha's Vineyard is a fun place to window shop, eat lunch, see the lighthouse, play in the ocean and tour the gingerbread houses.
