She likely has different interests than I, but she might enjoy the miles of beaches and the historic mansions south of Newport. I lived in Portsmouth (had clams in our back yard and more skunks in the community than house cats) for a while and in RI about 15 years, there is something there to interest every one within an hour or so drive, just key in you interest to a search engine. The entire state probably isn't as big as your county so SE Ma. and E Ct are part of the deal. Newport used to have red fox and ringneck pheasant wandering the streets before the people got out and about. Portsmouth in and of itself is not too interesting, fishing and truck farming when I was there.

Funny, I told her to bring back some Rhode Island Reds. She says they are heading to the Newport area tomorrow. Visiting some antique shops and such. Oh, and she said something about getting some oysters.. "The voice of reason!"

It's worth checking out the submarine museum at Groton, CT. Also if she likes casinos, eastern CT has Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. CWO4, SC, US Navy
