Rhode Island- Yes it’s the smallest state but what else do we know about RI? Well we now know it’s amazing! Small fishing towns dot the coastline and we stopped in one called Warwick.

Dining- The marina was filled with captains bringing in fresh Quahog (hardshell clam) and selling it directly to the best restaurant in town, “Crow’s Nest”. I ordered the Fried Seafood Platter, a large platter of clams, bay scallops, fish and shrimp. Let me tell you, this place is the best! https://crowsnestri.com

These massive estates were built by oil barrons, coal magnates and shipping titans. This place was the “Summer Whitehouse” for JFK and Eisenhower. Newport is the essence of wealth and sophistication….old money. I think it’s time to change my name to Nathan Vanderbilt.

Garden Party

If your gonna have a mega mansion it obviously has to be directly on the water or what’s the point? It also is not complete without a garden equipped with a bold statue and or giant fountain to display your power to the world.
