Birthday Trip

On Dec 1st I went on a neat bus trip to Newport, RI.  We visited the Marble House which was all decorated for Christmas.  It was enjoyable learning about the history of this “summer cottage”!!!  Wow! 

Next, we went out to eat at the Atlantic Beach Restaurant.  The food was Ok, but the wait staff had much to be desired.  From there we toured around Newport looking at other beautiful mansions and the lovely ocean views. 

Then, to top off the day, we went to Attleboro, MA to the LaSalette Shrine.  There we caught the end of Christmas Concert and happily explored the gift shop. 

At 5:00 PM there was a prayer service at the beautiful outdoor manger with caroling, too. When that was over they lit up all the outdoor lighted displays at once!!! It was spectacular. Everyone, was oohing and awing!

I enjoyed walking around and looking a all the lights and taking pictures.  What made the trip was the mild December weather we were having. The day was clear and sunny and not cold and the evening was lovely. 

All in all, I had a fun BD.
