Rhode Island: Zoos, Mansions, and Seafood

I finally finished my spring semester in the first week of May – woot!  And after spending a week covering my co-worker’s shifts while he was on vacation (darn you!), I took a couple days to do a little vacationing myself.

Pictures from our trip to Providence, Middletown, and Newport RI =)

Providence, RI: Roger Williams Zoo

Anthony’s Seafood: Middletown, RI…
After setttling in at the hotel in Middletown, RI, we hit Anthony’s Seafood for dinner.  The best part?  We looked it up online before heading over and apparently Guy Fieri featured this place on his show!  The red camaro was here!  I was so excited =D

The mansions: Newport, RI…
The next day we hit the mansions in Newport, RI.  First up: the Breakers, home to the Vanderbilt family.  Anderson Cooper!!IMG-20130516-00195 IMG-20130516-00196 IMG-20130516-00197 IMG-20130516-00198 IMG-20130516-00199I believe this one is The Elms…I could be remembering wrong.
