Ghost Tour of Newport, RI

Sep 092011
 

After the lack of, well, anything paranormal during our tour of the Lizzie Borden House on Sunday, I somehow managed to talk my poor scaredy cat husband into going on a local ghost tour. I love ghost tours because they’re a combination of history and paranormal and he loves….um, well, nothing about them.  He loves history – just not when ghosts are involved.  But despite the fact he is scared to death that he didn’t really want to go, he said yes when I asked him to go.  So, I just left it at that.  Usually I have to drag him, literally, to that sort of stuff.

We debated which tour to go on, but ultimately decided on Newport.  The last time we went on the Newport tour was almost two years ago, which you can read all about here if you like.

Great South Shore Day Trip Ideas

May 252011
 

Summer vacation is rapidly approaching!  In my town the kids last day of school is June 24th – which is only a month away!  Yikes.

Since I work from home and have the luxury of being flexible with my hours, I tend to take the kids out a lot.  I live on the South Shore and there are about a million and a half things to do with the kids in the area, but I decided to make a list of places I frequent because I can speak from personal experience.

Providence Ghost Tour

Oct 252010
 

This past Friday night, myself, Chris, Chris’s brother and his wife went on the Providence Ghost Tour (Providence, RI for those of you who are not local).   People that read my little old blog regularly know I love this kind of stuff.  I’ve been on the Plymouth, MA tour many times, the Salem, MA (think witch trials) tour, one in Boston and one in Newport, RI last year, so I was super excited to check out the one in Providence since I’d never been.

First off, the highlight of the tour was Sam, our FAB tour guide. He was energetic and made the tour so much fun.  And although we didn’t see much at the time, when I went back to look at the pictures I took, apparently there was some activity around where we were walking.

Jack-O-Lanterns, Jack-O-Lanterns and Even More Jack-O-Lanterns!!

Oct 212010
 

Last night myself and the fam headed down to Providence, RI to the Roger Williams Zoo to take in the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular.  There are literally thousands of carved & lighted pumpkins that are all set up along a trail in the zoo.  It’s absolutely amazing and if you’re in the area and have never been, I highly recommend you stop by if you get the chance.

Newport Ghost Tour

Oct 262009
 

I love ghosts and ghost stories. I think it’s a fascinating topic and find it hard to believe that ghosts DON’T exist. Hopefully I’ll run into one of them someday. I’ve been on these tours four times in Plymouth, MA (think Pilgrims) and once in Salem, MA (think Salem witch trials), but this past Saturday night I went on the one in Newport, RI. I’m not sure why, but I never realized what a historical town it is.

There were 6 of us in our group, so that made it all the more fun. It was me and my boyfriend, Christian, my sister, Tara with her boyfriend, Phil and Christian’s brother Chandler went with his girlfriend, Elizabeth. Heading into it, I was bummed because rain had been predicted all week for that night, but luckily, we only ran into drizzle once or twice on the tour and it ended up being pretty decent weather. Keep in mind that the tour left at 8pm, so it was dark.
