Blithewold Mansion, Gardens and Arboretum.
Our Thursday adventure this week was to the Blithewold mansion in Bristol, RI.
"Blithewold, a 33-acre summer estate with grand views of Narragansett Bay,
is nationally significant in American history as one of the most fully
developed and authentic examples of the Country Place era. The property
features a 45-room mansion filled with family heirlooms framed by a
series of lovely gardens than range in character from mysterious to
exotic, and from poetic to workmanlike. An exceptional collection of
rare and unusual plants, specimen trees, an accessible greenhouse, and
whimsical stonework project a character that is romantic, fresh and
inspiring – and unique to Blithewold."
Words do not do this amazing place justice at all. We took some photos of us having the time of our lives!

If was one of our friend, Alex's birthday so I packed a picnic for us to eat on the lawn. It was probably the best day of the summer so far. The Blithwold is an amazing place to visit and I feel so honored that it is in Rhode Island, so much history!
Sadly we havn't allowed to take photos of the mansion buuut that just gives you more of a reason to go visit yourself!!
Happy Birthday Alex!!
Hope you had an amazing time!!
Love you!
