Newport, Rhode Island







Come visit with the

Vanderbuilts.....



This is one of the smaller mansions in Rhode Island.



Built for one of the "poorer" Vanderbuilts....this is Marble Mansion.


She cost 11 million dollars in the 1800's. Completely built of marble. Floors, walls, window casings...crazy man.


This is just the gate to the other Vanderbuilt mansion....

I wonder what the rich people do with their cash....LOL

Hey Shannon! Sounds like you guys are having a blast! Bummer about the Indian museum though, that would have been totally cool. What an adventure for you,I can tell that you're enjoying every minute.
All is well here. We go to Mexico for Christmas this year, very excited. Booked and paid yesterday so it's really happening this time, hurray!
I'll email you with the rest of our news, take care and keep having fun!

Shannon & Daniel,

Unbelievable how much money was out there in those days! I can't even imagine how beautiful that building must be.
