Newport, RI

After three years of walking by, and gawking at, the Newport Mansions, I finally decided to tour The Breakers - the largest, most impressive of the vacation homes of the Gilded Age.  Cornelius Vanderbilt II's summer shack certainly was gilded!

Cornelius Vanderbilt II - The guy who had this place built.





Foggy day overlooking the Atlantic.
Magnificent ovens and stoves in the kitchen.
