I was able to sneak away to Newport Rhode Island this week for a much needed kid-free ‘holiday’ by myself. ’Mr. Sugar’ watched the rugrats and let me get away for some much needed R&R. I highly recommend visiting Newport if you love history…and for the ladies if you love all things shiny and expensive! Newport is a living historical community that has preserved the summer ‘cottages’ of the richest families in the early 1900’s. These ‘cottages’ are simply some of the most amazing homes still standing and the inside has also been restored and furnished completely as it was in 1900-1910. Sadly, I was not allowed to photograph indoors so I can only show outdoor photographs.
If you are heading to Newport, I highly recommend purchasing the 5 pack for the houses and visiting Marble House, the Breakers, Rosecliff, The Elms and Green Animals. A little trivia is that the Rosecliff has been used in many movies including True Lies, the Great Gatsby, 27 dresses and more.
Here are some from the Topiaries / Green Animals in Portsmouth RI…I absolutely LOVE Oriental Poppies, apparently in RI they only bloom for about 10 days and I was lucky enough to be there during this time!
This is what I call macro-licious! I was up close and personal with the bees with my macro lens!
and now one of the gorgeous view of the bay…
