Adventures: McGowns Visit + Seals

McGowns Visit

Simon and Jeannine took the train from NYC to visit us for a weekend! We explored some beautiful Newport neighborhoods, and a bell tower.



 We took a tour of the post-revolutionary Fort Adams.

We visited the ponies and pony-donkeys.




Another abandoned structure has some cool graphiffi. 


Stephen played old movies on his projector. 


We took the tour of the Elms, and also the "Behind the Scene's servant's life tour" which included the third floor servant's quarters, basement laundry rooms, trunk room, wine cellar, pastry room, and the huge coal furnaces. (The owner of the Elms was a coal baron.)


Seal Tour

Seth and Nicki's son Gabriel had his 4th birthday! We went out a seal-watching tour, right here in Newport. Seals are in Narragansett Bay most of the winter, and some like to hang out on rocks near the Newport Bridge and Rose Island.
