After our lovely lunch in Galilee we took the advice of some locals and headed off on a scenic drive to Watch Hill.

.

.

A popular beach destination in the summer, the carousel.. and pretty much everything else.. was shut up tight off season.

.

.

But the beautiful waterfront homes were still there.

.

.

With impressive stone walls…

.

.

And neatly trimmed hedges.

I include this photo because the perfect shrubs weren’t just in front of one home, it was an entire neighborhood of likeminded shrubbery.

.

.

Which was hella impressive and must be beautiful when fully leafed out.

.

.

Along the way we drove past this.

.

.

An impressive looking place of which I had no previous knowledge.

.

.

“…one of only fourteen Five-Star resorts in the world to hold this honor.”

.

.

Impressive indeed.

.

.

Reading that, you know I had to check out the accommodations.

.

.

Oh my.

.

.

Holy hell.

I somehow doubt any bed in Rhode Island is worth that.

.

.

At the end of our drive we were astonished to find this house.

.

.

Where being waterfront meant on the actual water.

.

.

How crazy is that?
