Day 1

Morning

Sleep in. What is more decadent than hitting the snooze button and rolling back over?

Pamper yourself with a Lobster Benedict in bed. Add a mimosa or a Bloody Mary 3 Ways to drink. As Gloria Vanderbilt would say, "To be happy—one must find one's bliss.”

Walk the Cliff Walk, a 3 mile journey along the shoreline offering views of the Mansions from another perspective.

Take the Forty Steps to Salve Regina University and walk down Ocher Point Avenue to the Breakers Mansion for a tour inside this remarkable "summer cottage."

Afternoon

Devour a gamberi salad and wood-grilled Margherita pizza at Pasta Beach. Sports enthusiasts can visit the International Tennis Hall of Fame next door.

Learn the art of glass blowing. Enjoy a fascinating afternoon with professional glass blower Matthew Buechner at Thames Street Glass Studio. Learn the nuances of this beautiful art form as you make your own paperweight, vase or bowl in your choice of color and shape.

Return to The Vanderbilt walking along lively Thames Street, lined on both sides with shopping, bars and restaurants and historic homes.

Evening

Dine like a Vanderbilt with a three-course dinner at The Vanderbilt Grille.

Reserve a table at The Mooring. In the warmer weather, appreciate their mahogany-planked patio floating over the water for an unmatched maritime alfresco dining experience as you dine on oysters and fish and chips.
