Wander Wednesdays: Newport, RI


I'm sure everyone gets the itch to take a big trip or just get out of town for a day. I sure as hell do! My lovely boyfriend and I have been daydreaming about going to St. John's or Key West-- somewhere warm, relaxing and a place where we can have a nice big frozen margarita with no worries. While this would be ideal, it costs a pretty penny to get there. (Flights out of Logan these days are SO expensive!)

With that said, I started to research great little trips we can take around Boston. Hello, Newport! Newport is a lovely, quaint little town that has a lot to offer its tourists (this is what I've heard... I've never been!). So I started poking around at Newport hotels, restaurants and area attractions...

Look at the amazing place I found (image above!)... It's called The Chanler at Cliff Walk. It's located right on the water and extremely close to downtown that has various shops, historic landmarks and more. The Chanler also has about 5 different restaurants and breathtaking views. I would LOVE to be there on a cold weekend, fire place going, nice big glass of Merlot and amazing views of the water.

They are currently providing winter deals for tourists, which makes for a great little getaway for Chris and I. I'm hoping we can make it down there in the beginning of March so it's not freezing but still quiet with few other tourists.

Have you ever been to Newport, RI? If so, any store/restaurant suggestions? Can't wait to check it out!
