Stroll through Bristol's historic district with its elegant homes and gardens, visit the the Herreshoff Marine Museum, and take a short drive Blithewold Mansion and Gardens near the edge of town. Take a picnic lunch to Colt State park for a day at the beach where there are lovely shaded grounds to take cover if the midday sun proves too much. Hop on the East Bay Bike path at Hope Street and run or bike on this pristine path as it winds through state parks and follows the coast all the way to Providence. Or, maybe just to Del's famous frozen lemonade in Warren!
Take a drive (approx 14 miles) to historic Newport where one can stroll along the 3.5 mile cliff walk and view the "summer cottages" of the Vanderbilt's and Astor's along with other Gilded Age mansions. If you are a car aficionado be sure to check out the Newport Car Museum in Portsmouth, it is along the road to Newport and will not disappoint. (Do not be deceived by the industrial looking building, it is truly a hidden gem!)
If you are lucky enough to be in Bristol on the fourth of July, you'll join the town in celebrating the longest continually running 4th of July parade in the nation. Summer is better in Bristol. Wish you were here :)
