Hi friends, welcome back to the conclusion of our time in Newport, Rhode Island! Our last mansion of the trip was the Chateau-sur-Mer, “Castle by the Sea” in French, and we didn’t love this tour. There was no interior audio guide, only a guide of all the trees and plants on the property, so we…

Hi friends, welcome back! June was a fun, busy month for us. We got back into a routine after our trip abroad, spent a long weekend in Montreal, made new friends, and celebrated Jon’s birthday!
