Took a trip to Newport, RI this past week to spend some quality time with one of my best friends from life. Our parents knew each other before we were born, but we didn’t meet until the 5th grade. Since Rachel lives in Florida, she’s always looking for someplace cooler to visit in August and it just so happens that Newport is a great place to hang out. Took several historic tours (by foot, by sail boat and by trolley car) and saw some amazing historic architecture as well as amazing mansions from the “Guilded Age” (turn of the 20th Century), where running a household meant 40 servants had to be in action daily. If you haven’t visited this part of the United States 🇺🇸 ~ it’s a MUST SEE!!!
