We went to Newport Rhode Island for a week. On the way up we stopped to visit Karl's brother and SIL. Our condo was right on the harbor.....The views were gorgeous. We had a great time exploring the city and the nearby coastal areas. The mansions were fantastic...hard to believe that folks really lived like that. The food was great too....lots of delicious seafood and wonderful Italian restaurants there. As usual I took tons of pictures. If you'd like to see them go to...

Such opulance for a beach vacation! Then again, what else would you expect in Newport .
I'm glad you had a good time. Welcome back.

In what part of Virginia do you live? My parents live in Williamsburg, and so do my sister and her husband. You've mentioned that you live in a historic area - but Virginia has so many ...
