If you are ever around Asheville, NC, you should visit the Biltmore House, which is another of the Vanderbilt homes. The area is still working to recover from Hurricane Helene right now, so maybe a future adventure for you.
The docents in the mansions are SO knowledgeable about the stories of these mansions and the families. There’s a self guided audio tour on the Newport Mansions app as well as other tours like what life was like for servants of the mansions. Definitely worth another visit.
You did a lot in one day! Such fun and interesting places. The rail bike did look so fun and you got some great drone footage there Cody. Beautiful sailboat too. I agree that sailing can be so peaceful! I can't wait to see where you go next. I guess I have to finally get to the northeast.....
Going into fall, I always tend to become sad. But this video actually made me so dang happy! Gives me something to look forward to. Can’t wait to eat at the black pearl
Even though you’re in Rhode Island, I heard someone mention Maine. I’ve lived my entire life in Maine, and in the summers, when I was a teenager, I would clean cabins on the schooner The Adventure out of Camden. I had the good fortune to be able to go out on it for a week, as a guest, as an adult. A dream come true.
Left RI for the second time just over a year ago. Grew up there. Owned a 38ft Saber sailboat. Now we are off-grid in Southern Oregon. When I was a kid I remember going on field trips to the Newport mansions. Lots of history in RI. Sailed to Block Island. Cutty Hunk, Marthas Vineyard, Nantucket and Nantucket. Use to visit Newport when the 12 meter boats were the thing back in the day. Left when I joined the USMC
I am so glad you love my home state!!! I always spent every summer in Newport with my grandparents you are seeing it at a gorgeous time. I know you show these videos after you leave where you are but it would have been a dream to meet you both!!!
I ran my last marathon in Rhode Island, and my wife ran the half. It was really hard watching her finish when I still had 13 more miles to go! The rail bike looks really cool! Watching from our Jasper cabin, almost heaven!
OMG. You guys! I love you are doing Newport now. Thank you for bringing me back to New England 🥳. I wanted to do the ride on the tracks it was in the summer, next year. ❤. I think it’s great you get to visit and appreciate New England
My wife Dawn and I loved visiting Newport. The best part was sailing on the Schooner Madeleine. The Breakers was interesting from the filming of the Gilded Age to the fact that Gloria Vanderbilt's son, CNN's Anderson Cooper, used to live there.
Stellar adventure! And just one day? i found myself smiling during the entire video. I got to go on a midday sail when I was in the Miami area for a hospital lab instrument training trip, many years ago. It was awesome, even though I did experience a bit of nausea.
I went out there for the first time earlier in the month, I miss it already! There’s some nice beaches on the other side of the state like Misquamicut and Watch Hill. Highly recommend! Great vid!
Hey guys, thank you for sharing as always ,that area is very historical and yes very beautiful also to me sailing is like dancing with the wind it's pretty much a ballet with a powerful partner you don't want to piss off, lol enjoy your time traveling stay safe,keep up the great work.. Peace be the journey ☮️✌️
😁 Oh how fun! The first thing I thought when he ask Cody his name, was.... That's Captain! Then you all went and ate at The Black Pearl. Loved the whole video. 😎💖
We love Newport. The mansions are amazing. For your New York list in Hyde Park is another Vanderbilt Mansion plus also the home of President Roosevelt. Another place to visit in NY is the 1000 Islands and see Boldt Castle and Singer Castle. We live in Central New and enjoy all your videos.
Food looked great. I'd travel there just for the chowder. One of my favorite restaurants in Florida was destroyed in the last two hurricanes (The Rod and Reel, Anna Maria Island). Their chowder was great. Fortunately, R. I. is closer!
We went to the Biltmore last year at this time, it was pretty epic, too bad the hurricane devastated that area so its probably a no go for about a year. It makes this place look like.....well....a small summer cottage lol. The Biltmore has 250 rooms and like 43 bathrooms give or take.
I like the sailboat adventure it’s not you but it made it more enjoyable to see you guys outside the box glad to see you again hope to see more real soon
WOW THATS what I call MONEY 😆 What an amazing way to spend the day! I can’t get over the “ Cottage” . It was stunning! I’m so glad y’all took us there 🥰👏😎 God bless 🙏
Newport is a neat little town. So many mansions to tour and the Cliff Walk is neat. If i remember correctly, the back outdoor garden and terraces were used in filming "The Great Gatsby". Oh and straight down the "main street" is a glass blowing store. They have some amazing christmas ornaments! My aunt usually buys one each christmas but i don't remember the name
Yeah that was pretty cool video thank you it's funny how you never even think these things exist but then you bring a video and now I know sailing on a ship never had it done should I watch the video thank you YOU TWO be safe out there❤🎉
I’ve been to the builtmore in ashville but I would avoid that now to the hurricane damage in the area! If you get to Connecticut go to Mystic Seaport, it’s where the pirates stopped to get a rest after their days on the water. Also I highly recommend you go to Martha’s Vineyard and take the ferry over. Take the bus tour! Also a MUST is Salem Mass! Salem has a lot of high homes along the sea that were homes to the pirates. Of course check out the witch trials and the witches muses and go to the cemetary! Love love Salem!
Newport looks so nice, so quaint. Nice seeing towns with locally owned shops & restaurants! Any camping recommendations? We are planning on going NE next spring, early summer.
Thanks guys this was a beautiful video! That palace is a real mind blower on how much money was put into those "society" homes. I can't even imagine how much time it took to just dust all those wall and fireplace details. Fully staffed and it had to be for them to live in such opulance . The bigger the better back them. Just think they also had another opulent home for the rest of the year!
Got a question how did they make All the mansions when we didn’t even have power tools 1895 and how does marble even so smooth with hammer and chisel and how do you burn a marble and concrete and how did they get concrete there when we didn’t have dump truck and compare it to what we have today 🤔🤔
The little railroad cars looks awesome and the lunch or dinner would be cool however, I have no idea how people live in big monstrosities like that “summer cottage”. That’s a whole different world away from most of us. I would not wanna live in something like that. Seems very cold. Beautiful but cold.
