Today me, two other midshipmen and my suitemate went to Newport, Rhode Island to get some stuff on base at the exchange and then we went over on the other side of the water to see some scenic areas of Newport. Here's a bunch of pictures, you can skip looking at them or scroll through them (I find them all to be worth at least skimming through) :

Below is me and two other Midshipmen in front of CV-60, the USS Saratoga at the Naval base. It's pretty rusty and sad looking now, but it was one of the first supercarriers ever when it was commissioned.

Newport was a quaint town/city to go through

And below are the historic mansions we passed along ocean's drive in Newport. They're all very neat.

This is the famous forty steps in Newport:

More really nice old mansions we drove by:

This drive would've been so much fun in a sports car...it looks like something out of a commercial.

The gardeners are so good at this house that they trained the ivy to grow in exact diamonds like that... that is just ivy.

And here are some panoramas I attempted to quickly take at various places. some of them didn't turn out perfect, but nonetheless they're cool.
