Newport Mansion Cruise May 23rd

Newport Mansion Cruise​

Sunday, May 23rd​

We have a great event planned. We will be heading to Newport, RI to visit the Marble House. After getting rained out last time, this will be our last chance to get this run in before Memorial Day. I hope you can make it. DON”T FORGET YOUR CAMERA.
We will meet at the Bridgewater service rest area, which is on 24 South and it junctions 495. It is an easy place to meet no matter which way you are coming. Anyone coming from RI, we can pick you up on the way if you would like. Contact me and I’ll make an additional pickup place. We will meet for 10:00 and leave at 10:30; it will be a tight schedule so we need to leave on time. We will drive through the old historic town of Newport, which still has the coble stone street. We will take a drive down Ocean Drive which will be awesome. We will also stop for a photo shoot with the Newport Bridge in the back ground. The Newport Preservation Society wouldn’t let us take a picture in front of the Rosecliff mansion. I even tried to make a donation, no deal. We will then end up on Bellevue Avenue and arrive at the Marble house. You can go to their web site www.NewportMansions.org . This mansion cost 11 million dollars back in 1892, that figure is huge even in today’s standards. This mansion also does audio tours. The cost will be $12.00 per person. If we get 20 people to sign up, the group rate will be only $9.00 per person. That is what I shooting for. Anyone not interested in doing the Mansion tour, you can leave your Viper in the parking lot, and walk to the cliff walk which is right around the corner. We should arrive around 12:00 and will be there for 1 hour.
At 1:00 we will then leave for lunch to the Atlantic Beach Club, which is also in Newport and is right on the ocean. You can also checkout their web site www.atlanticbeachclub.com . The restaurant will have a section of their parking lot roped off for us. This should be a great event and hope all of you can make it.

The weather is suppose to be great this weekend for a cruise. We will have over 20 Vipers going this weekend. Anyone still sitting on the fence and interested, let me know. This will be one of our best event of the year so don't miss out. We will be driving down to Newport,RI, taking a cruise down Ocean Drive, tour of the marble house, and a great lunch at the Atlantic beach Club on the ocean. On the way home I will drive by the aircraft carrier by the Newport Navy base for anyone who would like to see it. So if you are interested let me know. We will also have our member from Nova Scotia coming down for the event.
