We go sailing on Narragansett Bay!
We sailed on the 80-foot schooner Aquidneck. Our experience sailing on the Narragansett Bay was incredible! It was so relaxing, the weather was perfect – sunny and 70 with a little breeze. The water was calm. The sailing just rocked us back and forth. Just a great two hours of relaxation and enjoying another slice of God’s vast and diverse creation!
The Breakers, Newport, Rhode Island
In the late 19th century, the financial and social elite families of the nation had magnificent mansions built in Newport. This era of American history is referred to as the Gilded Age, due to the rapid accumulation of wealth by the top leaders of new companies that developed during the Industrial Revolution. Oil, steel and railroad companies exploded into wealth creators for those men who led them. There are hundreds of these mansions in Newport, eleven of which are open for tours.
We went to The Breakers, which was the home of Cornelius Vanderbilt and his family. It was built in the late 1880s. The opulence is insane. We have many more pictures than are posted here. We will be happy to share offline.
