![]() Then right next door was the Audrain Automobile Museum that I had to promise we’d come back and visit sometime. They had all these options to interact, voiceover match commentary, and even watch a freakishly realistic hologram of Roger Federer. I’ll be honest, I went in there thinking it was just to indulge E, but I was fascinated. But next stop was the Tennis Hall of Fame. ![]() Were it reasonable and I had a place to store it, I think I’d have ordered a vat-to-go. Oh my goodness, I wish I could bottle their butternut squash soup and send it virtually through the blog. Instead of packing in all the houses at once, we drove to downtown and stumbled across Cru Cafe for lunch. We hopped on a guided tour and spent a couple of enthralling hours viewing the home and grounds. I was bursting for E to catch that initial glimpse of The Breakers front gate. That thing was lightning fast and I’m currently feeling the slow charge withdrawals.ĭay one: After checking into our room (early, always a win), we lost no time in heading straight toward the mansions. Also, I’m now determined to find their mega-mammoth-high-speed bedside phone charger. The Plank Bar in the lobby was this funky fountain area with hanging basket chairs and rope details. I was so ecstatic when we got to our room and realized it was the cool equivalent of the rest of the property. I honestly didn’t make it to the reception desk before hauling out our camera and snapping away. Where we stayed: The Newport Marriott felt so magically nautical as soon as we stepped through the door. So today I’m sharing our little 48-hour travel log complete with favorite coffee spots and best photo ops. Every storefront and fudgery is just as sweet as later in the spring/summer (albeit there are more snow piles to hurdle). ![]() Now, I’ve visited before but never at this time of year and the charm level doesn’t change. Getting an early start on Saturday meant we had a full day to explore all the sights, sounds, and delicious dishes of Newport in winter. ![]() Despite Friday’s storm pushing back our travel plans, this little weekend getaway was everything we needed. ![]()
