Kathy of The Delightsome Life hosts this beautiful theme each week... and as an avid fan of Victoria magazine,, I was totally enraptured with this months issue...
and the article on Seaside Grace and Charm....
of Rhode Island... Im sure it was in part due to the fact that I experienced Newport's charms last summer!
So excited about our adventure, I actually traversed the lengthy bridge to the glorious seaport with anticipation instead of my usual dread!
Another very unusual part of our excursion was that it would be done on sea....
but truly Newport is best seem from asea...
Once safely aboard our afternoon vessel, the fun and excitement began as we carefully manuevered out of our slip and into the harbor
The quaint village is known best for its seaside welcoming shops and docks...
but I think Newport is best known for their magnificent mansions along it's
undulating coastline!!
Each architectural wonder displays the grandeur of a bygone era... l the genteel life of the Victorian age.
Around each coastal bend, another majestic property offered a glimpse into that privileged time!
Mesmerized by the beauty of such fabulous home, our coastal drive following our sailing, offered a few other residences of renown...
The next time we visit Newport, a tour of these wonderful homes will definitely be on our agenda.... For me, today, it has been a refreshing reminder of the dazzling day we experienced last summer In Newport!
Oh what a wonderful trip you took us on - I loved it!
