We had another early start today, not as early as yesterday but we were still running a bit late. We had to return the car and drive an hour into Newport to see the Newport mansions of Rhode Island. We knew that parking was it going to be easy but it was near impossible. We ended up about a mile away from our 10:30 servants life tour at the Elms. The girls already in the head and barely made the tour. Kevin miss most of it getting things together and paying for parking but he didn't seem to mind. Dimensions were so amazing words would not do them justice. The servants live tour was great and read and dad about 10 minutes before it ended. We took a self-guided tour of the Elms and realized there was no way we were going to see five mansions before 5:00. We walked very quickly to the biggest and most impressive one, the breakers so that we didn't miss that. We zipped through the self-guided tour of the Breakers and had 45 minutes to make it down to marble house which was about a mile away. We started out on foot since the RV was not really Moveable and made it with plenty of time. The marble house was also unique in that the whole thing was made of marble. We finished the tour and walked along the beach Cliff want to see the images from the water. They were so huge and the attention to detail is beyond words. We had promised Kayla a trip to Alex and Ani but were too far away to walk so dad came and picked us up in the RV. He dropped us off down at the wharf and called a little bit later and said he was in the motorcoach parking at the Breakers and couldn't come back downtown. After an Uber fail, we hailed a cab and went to find dad. Everyone was hungry so we decided to park in the grocery store parking lot and try dinner. Dinner was great and we have now found our campground for the night. Tomorrow we continue to head south to Fredericksburg with a stop off at Mystic Seaport.
