Christmas in Newport, RI

♫ Listening now…

 

It’s been a few days, guys! I was on vacation! 

I surprised my boyfriend for our 6 year anniversary- he didn’t know where we were going most of the way. (Of course he tried to guess the whole way, but I didn’t tell him!) We stayed at The Hotel Viking, which was beautiful.

I have always wanted to go to Newport, Rhode Island- my mom and her sister used to go with friends for the summer and raved about it. Mom says it was her escape. It felt like she was entering a different place altogether. We pull out her harbor bell Christmas ornament from the little town every year while decorating the tree. So of course I had to visit!

Tiny little steps!

The oldest tavern in America!

The waitress brought us downstairs to show us the original keg!

Bowen’s Wharf for some Christmas shopping-right by the water

These seagulls were in love everyone- they were making out on the beach!

We visited the corner cafe for brunch before we left to go on the cliff walk- such a cute little atmosphere and amazing food!

Here’s their website: Corner Cafe

And the ice cream! Anytime of the year, of course. We visited Kilwins-it was amazing. Kilwins website. They have chocolates, too!

The cafe we went to had this cute art hanging up, so I researched the artist. Her name is Johanna Kriesel. When I saw it I recognized the art- I knew I had seen it before, but didn’t know who it was!

Hope you enjoyed, thanks for reading! XOXO
