Newport has some of the largest mansions in the country, think Great Gatsby style from the gilded age. Providence is the biggest "city" but it feels more like a large town. A huge foodie city, they hold their weight against much larger in population. Some of the best Korean food on the east coast, good authentic Mexican (not texmex), world class seafood, grossly underrated pizza, and much much more.

Few facts about RI from someone from there: 1. Until 2020, we had the longest name out of any state, “The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.” The last part was gotten rid of due to plantations now having a meaning tied to slavery, but in the English used by its founder, it just meant village or town and the founder was actually not a big fan of permanent slavery (he tolerated POW’s being used as slaves for up to 10 years but disliked every other form, especially enslaving children) 2. Relating to 1, Rhode Island is the name of an island in Narragansett Bay, which is a bay that the state is situated around. Rhode Island is called Aquidneck Island (or just Aquidneck) by the locals and has about 70,000 people living on it. Providence Plantations was supposed to refer to the rest of the state, since the state was originally a union between Providence Plantations and Rhode Island. 3. The founder of the state is Roger Williams, and he is well-liked for being a 400-year-old colonist. He’s mainly liked because he was devoted to not taking Native land through anything but purchase from whatever tribe happened to live there (a main reason to RI being small) and because he was a powerful advocate for separating church and state. 4. As said above, Williams was heavy on separating church and state. When he founded RI, he and his followers decided that religion was something that would be personal and therefore not a part of the government beyond the church itself. This happened in 1636, making Rhode Island the first place in modern times across the whole planet to have a secular government and was also the motivation for the Founding Fathers creating the 1st Amendment of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion, conscience, and separation of church and state, among many other privileges, for all Americans. 5. There are a lot of historical sites here, such as the resting place for the HMS Endeavor (Captain Cook’s ship that he used when sailing to Australia and New Zealand) and HMS Gaspee (more of just an RI thing, but we burnt it down in an event leading up to the revolution and still hold mock burnings and parades for it in June), as well as the oldest Jewish Synagogue in North America.

There's so much to see and do in Washington, D.C. If you do go there, give yourselves at least four days if not more. The Smithsonian museums alone will take a lot of time to go through. Hope you enjoy your next visit to the U.S.!

He's not wrong about Pennsylvania, everywhere here has deep history even outside of Philly, we have Gettysburg which was the battle ground in the civil war that was the turning point for the war and you can also take a medal detector and find old relics from soldiers in the ground, and I also live in a town that was kind of Black Beards vacation spot, and the whole town was named after his mistress who lived here, you got the Franklin institute in Philly, the old naval yard, Independence Hall, the liberty bell, this whole state is a giant American time capsule.

[@raymondstapleton3945]

Rhode Island had the first Jewish Synagogue built in America. The Touro Synagogue in Newport. We also have a ton of small islands throughout Narragansett Bay one of which is Rhode Island, but we call it by it's native name Aquidneck.

I live in Virginia, I’m a Washington, D.C. suburb. We have parts of the Federal Government here (Pentagon, CIA Headquarters, Patent Office); tourist sites (Arlington Cemetery, George Washington’s Mount Vernon, Civil War battlefields) and easy access to DC with the museums, monuments and other attractions. Except for college (University) and 18 months when I was little, I have lived here all my life. If you are coming to the DC area, I could give some good pointers for getting around and having fun without spending too much money.

Definitely fly into Denver and drive up through Grand Tetons as it borders Yellowstone

[@johnalden5821]

Denver is about a 10-hour drive from Yellowstone, though. There are airports in Jackson Hole and Bozeman that would put them much closer. Arriving in Denver would mean a lot of driving and about two days if they wanted to stop and see anything on the way. I have flown into Jackson Hole, which is a nice airport. True, you do have to connect (often in Denver) but I think the time saved is worth it. Plus, the Tetons are right there at Jackson Hole. I would also recommend a trip to Colorado for its own sake, of course.

I'm from Rhode Island originally. Though it's a small state and there isn't much that draws tourists in, there is something called WaterFire Providence. WaterFire is my favorite thing from my home state. They light small bonfires all down a river that goes around our state's capital city at night. It happens once a week every week for a large portion of the year. There is live music, street food vendors and amazing bars all along the river route. You can also get gondola rides on the river while the fires are lit. It's absolutely beautiful, but not many people know about it if you aren't from Rhode Island.

[@RamblingRose08]

That sounds amazing!

lol I'm from CA, but have lived in D.C. for 4+ years (my family is from here), D.C is so underrated. We have so many monuments, great shopping, iconic food, amazing culture, and dope ass museums/history. We are referred to as the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) -- so you can visit three in one when coming here. I'm only one metro stop from VA. I think we also have the (second?) highest African American population in the country. Also, we're definitely not only politics and politicians, the DMV is a great place for things like hiking, brunch, etc., too (iykyk). I still never get tired of walking on the national mall and feeding the ducks in the reflecting pool where Dr. King gave his "I Have a Dream" speech. ICONIC. Not to mention, sometimes I take Amtrak or drive down to NY and stay for the weekend. I feel like the D.C. is a great home-base for visiting other states as well.

When I joined the Air Force I took a sight seeing tour of Napa Valley with a friend. She was from Long Island and I was from Connecticut which is right next to NY. We were talking about the beautiful fall foliage we were missing when someone in the seat behind us leaned forward and said “New York doesn’t have trees”…we looked at her and said the state is very large with lots of farms and forests and even NY, NY has Central Park on Manhattan which is huge. We were rolling with laughter. That person actually thought all of NY was high rises. Assumptions should not be made unless you have been there.

[@wackyd9863]

literally happens somewhere every single day! I'm from NY state south of Buffalo near the PA line, and went to college in Illinois in the Chicago area. I was amazed how many people thought that all of NY was just city. And apparently it was amazing to them that I didn't have a NYC accent. And then I had a roommate who was from Buffalo NY who could never understand the concept that Chicago was a city and not a state. Like literally messed it up every day.

I'm not from Delaware and even I'm insulted. Delaware is home to Dover Air Force Base. Its principal resident is the Military Airlift Command. The Air Forde's biggest planes fly out of there. But, there is another, more solemn mission that makes it unique and very special, on Arlington's level of special. Lots of YT videos to explore or react to if you'd like.

[@NathanMN]

Military Airlift Command was deactivated in 1992 and replaced by Air Mobility Command.

[@johnalden5821]

The military aside, Delaware is home to some great beaches and lovely little beach towns. You won't find the major resorts that are prevalent in neighboring states, but you will find surf and serenity -- and plenty of people are willing to pay top dollar for those!

[@MrLainon]

This video is a more shallow look at most states. One nice thing about a comment section is we can share a bunch more about our own states that maybe other Americans didn't know about. I currently live in Ossipee, New Hampshire, and on all of the "welcome to Ossipee, New Hampshire" signs it also says "home of the first snow mobile." Historically New Hampshire has always been more proud than reasonable about being first at things, like being the first to sign the declaration of independence, after being the first state to declare independence, because Congress was taking too long to make the decision. More recently New Hampshire invented paintball, and we still do the old-school "outdoor" style the best. "Outdoor" meaning we favor a variety of woods and ply-wood courses, with camo being popular as apposed to colorful team uniforms and inflatable generic shapes for cover; we call that more modern style "speedball" and it's available, but not as popular. We can also be borderline obsessive about freedom in a way where we tend to be socially liberal, and fiscally conservative, which is closer to what the term "liberal" means in the UK, or "Libertarian," in the U.S., although we seldom elect Libertarians, because the candidates themselves are often uncomfortably weird (like stoner/pedo vibes). The state motto is "Live Free or Die;" we have no state sales tax or income tax; there's no legal requirement to wear a seatbelt if you are over 18 years old; that sort of thing.

I’m from Tennessee and think you two should give it a visit. The beauty of the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee, along with Gatlinburg and Dollywood, the live country music and tourism industry in Lower Broadway of Nashville is a must-visit, and of course Memphis’s Beale Street has great blues and barbecue, not to mention Elvis’s Graceland. Spring and Fall are most enjoyable, while Summer can get pretty hot and a bit humid.

In defense of Rhode island, it has beautiful beaches and great seafood like in Port Judith. In Newport, the "summer cottages" of the Golden Age line the beach and the Tennis Hall of Fame is there, too. Vermont is still a beautiful, rural wonderland but very forward thinking. Many towns, schools, businesses have their own solar arrays, and organic farming is growing exponentially. Great farm to table restaurants all over the state, with an extensive fine art and craft culture, great music venues, especially in summer, again statewide but all while maintaining that quaint New England vibe. Plus skiing, snowboarding, all manner of snow sports in winter. Should add Vermont to your list. I lived there for nearly 30 years and do miss it's cozy kind of beauty, ablaze with color during autumn "foliage season" and even the deep, muddy ruts of "mud season". Go there, you won't be disappointed.💜

We're home the Apostle Island s in Lake Superior since Michigan pretty screwed us over in owning more lake property and we have Door County off of Lake Michigan. We have beautiful hills, chilly winters, and the Summerfest in Milwaukee. Needless to say, Wisconsin is a great state even though Kevin Smith might think it's a worst place than Hell. Honestly, I would say Minnesota is a much worse place than Hell.
