One of the most amazing weekend getaways you can take is one to Newport, RI. Famous for their mansions tours and sailing culture, this charming New England enclave is only 3 hours from New York and 1 hour from Boston. We recently hit the road with Chevrolet to spend an amazing weekend touring this town.

Texas Gentlemen: Redd’s Barbershop
James was in need of a haircut. BAD! And however hard you may think finding a good hairdresser is, finding one that can tame his thick, long, half asian fro is a like finding diamond in the rough. While in Austin earlier the week, the 90 degree weather put him over the edge and it was either chance a hair cut or threats of him shaving his head… again (a yearly tradition I very much am trying to put to an end to).
Stay Here: Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas
Normally, when James and I travel we’re obsessed with reading everything on Tripadvisor and reaching out to our networks for all the must-do’s so we can try them and report back for our guides. However, with a 36 hour trip to Dallas we were so enamored by all that the Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas had to offer, we decided not to leave the property.
