Newport Car Museum - Highly Recommended

Image
On our day trip to Newport, we went to the Newport Car Museum, which I was very excited for, having heard about it for a long time. If you like cars it's a must visit if you're in the area, and even if you don't like cars you might enjoy it. Lorna isn't into cars and she enjoyed it. Also, it's a good size. There are a lot of cars to see, over one hundred I think, but it's not so large that it takes all day to see the museum. $20 well spent. Saw a lot of cars that I've heard about but never seen in person.  

Providence Street Art

Providence has a lot of cool street art. I'm not going to write a lot on these posts, but just throw up pictures, since I'm feeling lazy and no one reads this anyway.

Rhode Island - Is the littlest state the coolest state?

 So more or less on a whim, we went to Rhode Island, specifically Providence, for our anniversary trip. Although it was a little early (seems like things really kick off in June) we really enjoyed it.  First off, we were able to take the Accella train up from Baltimore in less than six hours. A delightful trip. Every time I saw horrible traffic on I-95 out the window (which was often) I felt better and better about taking the train up. Arriving Saturday afternoon we had lunch and a drink at an Irish pub next to the hotel. Sunday took the Downcity Providence Food Tour by Rhode Island Red Food Tours. This was a great tour for the most part. Only one item on the tour wasn't good (a dessert item) but everything else was great. One of the places, Suya Joint, was so awesome we went back again. Providence has a lot of cool public art.
