When visiting the Marble House, I was fascinated to learn about Alva Vanderbilt. ⁠
⁠
Born in Mobile, Alabama, her family fled to France during the Civil War. There she met her husband there and married into the Vanderbilt family.⁠
⁠
Alva's husband gave her Marble House as a gift for her 39th birthday. They called it their "summer cottage."⁠
⁠
She divorced her husband in 1895 during a time when that was unheard of, especially when you were married to the richest man in the country. She did ok though... she married friend Oliver Belmont and moved into Belcourt mansion down the street. ⁠
⁠
Alva was a major figure in the American women's suffrage movement. She and her daughter hosted rallies for women's right to vote.⁠
⁠
The last picture is of her original Votes for Women china still in the cabinet. I had to bring a tea cup of my own home. ⁠

This was such an amazing find. Just outside of New

This was such an amazing find. Just outside of Newport is the Norman Bird Sanctuary. There is a small admission fee of $7 and your money goes to protect the land. ⁠
⁠
At the very end of the Hanging Rock Trail, you will come to this lookout over the ocean. It might be one the best trails I have ever stumbled upon. ⁠
⁠
Wear good shoes because the areas unique rock formations called “puddingstone” or Purgatory Conglomerate can be real ankle twisters. ⁠
⁠
The trail is one one mile long and part of it goes over wooden walkways. Kids would love scurrying over the rocks, but be careful at the cliffs edge. Look down at the pond. If you are lucky, you will see a busy beaver at work. ⁠

Here is a peek at my hotel room at The Hotel Vikin

Here is a peek at my hotel room at The Hotel Viking. I loved the artwork in my room that gave a nod to the suffragette movement which was prevalent in this area. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
My kids would have LOVED the pool here, but they weren't invited on this trip 🤫⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I loved the little cafe called Hill Market which offers freshly brewed coffee, handmade pastries, on-the-go bites & fresh pressed juices. It was really nice to have such an easy option right there. ⁠⁠

My 24 hour escape when by a bit too quickly. ⁠⁠

My favorite activity when visiting Newport is The

My favorite activity when visiting Newport is The Cliff Walk. This 3.5 mile trail will bring you along the coast. Picture waves crashing on your left and gilded age mansions on your right. It is stunning. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I visited on the off season to avoid the crowds and sky-rocketing prices. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I also love to stroll along Newport Harbor around sunset and admire all those golden hues on the water.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Don't miss the White Horse Tavern, which is the operating restaurant in the country! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Coming to the blog soon: my complete travel guide to Newport. ⁠⁠
