The Vanderbilt house

I have been to the Vandebilt's marble house in Newport Rhode Island. This area was the epicenter of old money. Many many stars and rich people had there vacation homes there and a bus tour of Newport is the stuff of legend. At first I was very unhappy to go out there from Providence because our friends from Tennessee had made the journey up here to have fun with us and our parents had forcibly separated us for the day. The house spanned tens of thousands of square feet and it took us almost three hours to finish the audio tour through the house. We herd all everything about the family from the money to the number of clothing changes the children went through every day (which, by the way, was somewhere around 10). The reported coast is the project was 11 million.
