Newport

We arrived late Friday night but forced ourselves out of bed after just a few hours sleep. We drove up to Newport Rhode Island to see the mansions. I love history (thus the trip to Boston) and I love houses. Last time I went we saw three houses so this time we saw four more we had not seen. All of them were wonderful and interesting. One of the homes had live actors and at the end the actors held a dance in the ballroom. I got picked out of the audience to dance w/one of them. Of course my sister enjoyed watching that (I was not as thrilled). All in good fun, and it was...



After the houses we drove up the the Wrentham outlet center. That place is HUGE. I have never seen so many people in one place (well I have) it looked like Disneyland.

You look great.......so relaxed.....I never did get to go into any of the houses in Newport. Did I read that right? You went outlet shopping instead of to Salem? j/k. I never did go the Wrentham outlets.....can't remember why?
