Weekends at Fort Adams State Park in Newport

One of the greatest places to go for a weekend is Fort Adams State Park in Newport, Rhode Island. The location is convenient for a quick getaway and I can enjoy the scenery and get outdoors for a while.

Hence, I like to spend weekends doing something I don’t usually do. And I don't have a lot of money to spend.

Not so much the wharf area where all tourists are or not even touring the mansion, again where all tourist are.

If you are like me, you want to go where there is not a lot of people and you can commune with nature so as to obtain serenity.

The place to go is Ocean Drive. It encircles Fort Adams State Park and is approximately 7 miles long.

You see sail boats out on the ocean, and you hear the waves crashing against the rocks. Behind you are folks flying all sorts of kites.

Oh, how you would love spending your vacation here.
