8 Must-Dos If You're Visiting Newport, Rhode Island

Wikipedia

One place I have grown up visiting is Newport, Rhode Island.

An amazing little town with so much to offer. Here are some fun things to when visiting Newport.

1. The Beaches

Although they are technically the town over, First and Second beach in Middletown R.I. are big beaches with huge waves for families to enjoy!

2. Ryan Family Amusement's Arcade

One of the things I look forward to the most when in Newport.

3. Kilwins

Right next door to the arcade is this amazing ice cream store! Be sure to try one of their caramel covered Twinkies!

4. Thames Street Glass Blowing

Down on Thames Street there is a great glass blowing shop where you can make your own creations!

5. Brick Alley Pub

A fun restaurant filled with old relics and great food.

6. Audrain Auto Museum

A somewhat newer edition to Newport, this car museum is filled with authentic, colorful, new, and old fashioned cars.

7. Tennis Hall of Fame

Right next door to the car museum is the Tennis Hall of Fame. Grab a bite to eat or find a time to watch a match!

8. Museum Tours

Newport is also famous for their mansions especially The Breakers. Many mansions offer tours so be sure to check those out!

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
