For My Birthday Getaway That Brought Me Back to New England: Part V/ Rhode Island Conclusion and Future Itinerary
On my final day of my
vacation I spent the morning driving around Newport saying goodbye looking
around for last minute souvenirs. I ended up walking around the Wharf again.
This time most shops were closed because it was so early on a weekday but I
found it so endearing. By now I had gotten so use to driving around the
charming little streets and really come to love the neighbor. It is amazing how
fast you can adapt to life some place else. My visit was so short but it
remains so close to my heart. I fell in love with Newport and will always have
a soft spot for it. It will have to be a place I go yearly.
Among my purchases I got
Christmas ornaments of each of the mansions I visited and a bag of coffee,
which is some of the best, I have ever had. I will be ordering it when I run
out for sure. I also got a picture frame. Frames and ornaments are my go to
gifts to bring my trip home with me. They form a unique collection that when
put together display some of my most treasured memories. They are also a great
way to share my journey.
Even though this trip was
over I already have my to do list for next time all set. Part of it is from the
itinerary of this trip as I had a list of restaurants and other items in case I
had extra time or needed to know something at the tip of my fingertips. I also
have a list of the attractions that I wanted to see but knew were closed ahead
of time because my trip came later in the year than originally planned. With
that being said I know my next trip can’t be later than the first week of
November this year. I love thinking that I was in Newport only two months ago
and I am already planning my trip back in just a couple of more months.
I am so eager to go I am
going to share with you now the top activities and restaurants on my 2013
