After a couple hours on the road we arrived at our hotel.  We decided to stay at the Comfort Inn in Middletown, just outside of Newport.  The rates here were cheaper than staying in Newport, which was less than 10 minutes down the road.  We didn't need anything fancy, we wouldn't be …

My uncle arrived to pick me up at 1:00pm, but first I showed him around my apartment and showed him some of my pictures from the Philippines.  We were on the road before 2:00pm and the ride to Misquamicut took about an hour and a half.   Although I had been to the area several times ove…

After getting my rental car, I drove to the Roger Williams National Memorial.  I try to visit as many of the national parks as possible; this site took only about fifteen minutes, but it also provided parking as I explored the area.  I walked up to the State House where I started to look …

     We decided today to take a trip into Newport, RI which is probably one of my favorite New England places. Of course we weren't even out of Milford and we had taken a wrong turn and ended up in Warwick, RI among other places along the way and what should have been a 1 1/2 ho…

This weekend I went to my favorite camping area with some friends from the gym. So we had one gal who didn't let us eat too much, one who didn't let us drink too much, and one who made sure we exercised! Despite all this, a great time was had. Of course, with camping, you have to have good weather.…

  I finally got to live the dream of going to the smallest state in the USA, Rhode Island.  It happened by accident which is usually how most people find themselves in Rhode Island.  Still I went with an open mind and a loving heart and had a great time, even though i…

Newport is a frequent destination when I am camping in nearby Charlestown Rhode Island. Going over the Newport bridge and seeing all the magnificent boats and occasional cruise ship is very beautiful. Newport is full of great shopping, nice restaurants, beautiful beaches and of course the famous ma…

With an earlier start this morning, we went to the visitor center in Newport and bought a pass to visit 5 mansions. We also took the trolley for transportation which ended up being a waste. It was nice for the drive to the 1st mansion but then you had to wait around for what seemed like an eternity…

This was our first in what would become many Boston day trips. After having missed the bus on Saturday because of construction on the T, we managed to get on the bus at the correct time on Sunday, and off we went to Newport, Rhode Island. We chose this location because my dad lived there several h…

Today I moved on from my island haven & headed to Providence, Rhode Island. My sole reason for stopping here was to visit the Culinary Archives & Museum, and it was definitely worth it! They have a huge collection of culinary-related stuff - stoves, utensils, gadgets, presidential menus &am…

What better way to end my summer weekend camping adventures than to attend the annual Rhythm and Roots Festival during Labor Day weekend. This festival is loads of fun and if you love to dance ... there is no better place than here! Ninigret Park is a huge outdoor venue that used to be an old air s…
