That Is a Lot of Yard to Mow!: Newport, Rhode Island, July 2001 During the tour of The Breakers, we were only allowed to take photographs from the back porch of the mansion. I sure wouldn’t like to have to maintain this lawn. (via Robby Edwards’ Photos)

Waiting in Line: Newport, Rhode Island, July 2001 The next morning in Newport, RI, we headed to The Breakers, the summer home of some members of the Vanderbilt family. And what a home it was. We had to wait in line a bit to take a tour of the house, and unfortunately, I couldn’t take any photos of the interior. But take my word for it the house is splendid and opulent. The Vanderbilts knew how to live in high comfort. (via Robby Edwards’ Photos)

Tell Me Your Stories, Ladies: Arches National Park, September 2001 After our visit to Zion National Park in September of 2001, we headed across Utah to visit Arches National Park. Once we were inside Arches, we were amazed by the surreal scenery we encountered. Both Rachelle and I felt as though we had been transported to some alien planet. The Three Gossips is a sandstone formation in the Courthouse Towers section of the park. (via Robby Edwards’ Photos)
