Newport, Rhode Island, just saying that phrase, that place name... I can't help but sigh. Hmmm... Rhode Island. If you have ever been there - really been there - you know exactly what I mean.
One of my favorite US
destinations! I venture annualy to enjoy the New England Scenery (and lobster), Lavish Architecture, and Rich American History. This particular trip I brought a number of fellow Interior Designers and Interior Design Students on a Travel with ASID Maryland Trip to tour the Newport Mansions. http://newportmansions.org/
Newport's history is
remarkable in many ways, but perhaps the most unique aspect is that so much of its history is still visible on the landscape in an unparalleled concentration of preserved architecture.

With lavish details and rich history, America’s first new port later becomes the Queen of Resorts, where in great architects and designers Richard Morris Hunt, McKim Mead and White, Peabody and Stearns, and others build the "summer cottage" mansions for the American elite for which Newport has become famous. 
An incredible view of dusk on the rocky shore.
Followed by a soft and colorful sunset across the bay.
