We spent Christmas with Aimee’s family in Rhode Island, and enjoyed a leisurely few days of relaxation, good food, movies, and hanging out. I hadn’t been to Newport in awhile, and I hadn’t been to any of the mansions in at least ten years.

Aimee and the girls and I visited Marble House, decorated for the holidays. It’s always fascinating to see the extent of opulence that was once the norm for the 1% of the 1%.

I also had a chance to visit the Audrain Automobile Museum, which opened recently near the International Tennis Hall of Fame. I visited during their inaugural exhibition, which showcased 16 beautiful cars made in the 1920s and ’30s.
