A March 2002 trip to Newport by Mchaela
Quote: While visiting my sister in New Haven for Easter, we decided to take that Saturday and go to Newport, RI for the day. Although it was a little drippy and cool, it was a wonderful place to forget about troubles and view how the rich and famous lived.
Overview
One of the best moments was my sister and I "frollicking" on the back lawn of Breakers after the tour. We went all the way to the Cliff Walk, but of course there wasn't an entrance to it there.
Shopping in downtown Newport was a hoot. I found a shop that mainly sold Harmony Kingdom collectible boxes, my new obsession. Great fun!

Attraction
The shop owner was working when I was there and she has loads of information regarding Harmony Kingdom. They even have a club that hosts special events throughout the year. At the time they were planning a Cheeseburger in Paradise party for the release of a new figurine (a parrot) and a visit by the artist in June. Of course I joined, even though I live in Minnesota. She said that she had members all over the country as there are few shops that carry the collectables.
