New England Road Trip - Day 8

Today, thankfully, was another no-travel day and more exploring of beautiful Newport, RI. We started the day by taking a tour of Fort Adams. We then went to the Newport Car Museum with over 100 classic and remarkably rare cars. We ended our day walking the 3.5-mile Cliff Walk, where we had mansions on one side and ocean views on another. Wish I could walk that walk every day at home. 

                       

New England Road Trip - Day 7

Today was one of, if not my favorite, days. We spent our day exploring the mansions of Newport. Most of them were owned by the Vanderbilts and were amazing. The architecture and history were beyond fascinating. We then explored the little downtown shops; the girls had some lobster, and the boys ate at the Cluck House, which they really enjoyed! 

New England Road Trip - Day 6

Today we had a bunch of little stops on our way to our destination. The first stop was at the Gillette Castle, owned by the first Sherlock Holmes. A real castle with hidden tricks within the home. After that, we explored the first nuclear submarine, USS Nautilus, in Groton, CT. We drove next to Old Mystic Village, where we did a little shopping. We ended our day at Newport, Road Island.
