Enjoyed our day today in Newport, Rhode Island. We took a tour of the Cornelius Vanderbilt home, called the Breakers. They only spent about 6 weeks in the summer at that house. It is decorated pretty elaborately. I wish we had time to do the Cliff Walk that goes along the cliffs and by the big mansions.
We had lobster rolls at this restaurant called "Pick Pocket". It's lobster meat mixed with mayo and put in a toasted slice of bread. It is like the size of a hot dog roll. I thought it was pretty good.
Tonight, we had dinner at Mystic Pizza. This restaurant was used in the Julia Roberts movie, 'Mystic Pizza' back in 1988. I enjoyed the pizza. There was a semi accident in downtown Mystic. The semi hit a pole, so many of the shops had to close early. The pizza place had a generator for back up power, so we had to wait 45 minutes for our pizza.
Tonight, we are staying at the Hilton. This town has about 4,200 year round inhabitants. People seemed to know each other all over.
Tomorrow, we go to the Norman Rockwell Museum, which I think will be interesting. We stay in Stockton, Vermont tomorrow night.
