Back by popular demand - we are heading to Rhode Island’s gorgeous ‘Gold Coast’ over Labor Day Weekend 2022!
We will take the train together on Friday at 2pm from Penn station to Kingston, RI followed by a short uber trip to our lodging at the beautiful Yankee Peddler Inn, within walking distance of downtown and Newport harbor, and less than a 10 minute drive from Newport’s beautiful beaches!
After a welcome dinner on Friday night, Saturday will start with a private, guided visit of the Newport museum of art, including their new Georgia O’keeffe exhibit, followed by brunch overlooking Easton Bay and the option to take the cliff walk for self-guided visits of the Breakers and/or Rosecliff, followed by sunset dinner on the lawn at the Castle Hill Inn .
On Sunday, we will have a self-guided visit to the Marble House, followed by brunch at the Chinese Tea House and free time to hit the beach and/or go shopping, depending on your preference. Then, we will meet for a sunset sail aboard the Schooner Adirondack, followed by dinner on Bowen’s Wharf.
Monday will start with ‘the Servants Life’ guided tour at the Elms, followed by a farewell brunch before catching the 4:22pm train back to NYC, arriving at 7:28pm.
