Christmas in Newport


featuring LaSalette Shrine



This morning we will travel to NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND, "America's First Resort Town." Today we will visit one of the Newport Preservation Society mansions that are elegantly decorated for the holidays. You will either be visiting THE BREAKERS, THE ELMS, or MARBLE HOUSE (our choice). All of the mansions are especially beautiful at the holidays - each decorated in magnificent splendor!



Next, we will depart for the OLD GRIST MILL TAVERN in Seekonk, MA for lunch.  Originally built in 1745, the building is a rare relic of Pre-Revolutionary New England that was designed to grind the grain raised by nearby colonial farmers. Today, the renovated OLD GRIST MILL TAVERN is a wonderful restaurant with a fabulous view. It is touted by locals as the supreme New England tavern. Your meal choices for today are Baked Stuffed Chicken, Baked Scrod, or Prime Rib.



After lunch, we will travel to Attleboro, MA, home of LaSALETTE SHRINE, where you will enjoy a delightful Christmas concert, a mass, and a dazzling display of Christmas lights that will fill your hearts with the true meaning of the holiday season. Also located at the Shrine is a religious gift store, one of the largest in New England. LaSalette has become a New England Christmas tradition. Join us on this spectacular Holiday Getaway!
