We
decided to go for an early spring getaway to Rhode Island this March. We
wanted to make the most of our extended weekend there so we jam packed our days
with lots of fun and interesting excursions. Tiffany would agree with me
that there’s plenty for solo travelers, couples, and families to do. From
pristine beaches to delicious seafood restaurants, you’re going to love Bristol
and Providence.
From
where to stay to where to dine, you’ll find this guide helpful when deciding
which places to go and what types of things to do, see, and experience while in
the New England state.
Bristol
Offers a Peaceful Atmosphere Complete with a Seaside Symphony
Bristol
is perfect for people wanting to get away from the noise of the city. The
quiet downtown area is great for walking and sightseeing and the sea-filled air
makes it impossible to want to do anything but spend the day outdoors.
Nearby Colt State Park with its Narragansett Bay is symphonic.
You’ll be at peace listening to the sounds of the ocean. Lay out a
beach blanket, read a book, or take a nap. The waves lapping at the shore
will be enough to lull you into deep relaxation. Tiff was snoring within
10 minutes :P (Hopefully she misses this comment)
Here
are some additional places that you’ll want to put on your list when visiting
Bristol:
•Historic
Wood Street
•Bristol
Harbor Inn
•Sakonnet
and Greenvale Vineyards
•Aidan's
Irish Pub
•Jacky’s
Galaxie & Sushi Bar
Providence
Caters to a Younger, Hipper Crowd with Its Cafes, Storefronts, and University...So
needless to say, Tiff and I fit right in....
Like
with most college towns, Providence is abuzz with energy. Prospective
students wanting to experience the city will find the Brown University area
especially attractive. Heck, I wish I could go back to college and go
there. Get your fill of cafes, bakeries, and funky shops. You’ll
find everything you need in the way of souvenirs and good eats in this exciting
Rhode Island city.
You’ll
want to check these places out in Providence as well:
•Museum
of Art at the Rhode Island School of Design
•Botanical
Center at Roger Williams Park
•Annie
Brownell House
•Craftland
•New
Rivers
•Café
Nuovo
A
weekend trip to Rhode Island in the spring is ideal for people of all ages.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a solo traveler wanting to explore the beauty
of New England or a family looking for a fun getaway. You’ll find
everything that makes you happy in Rhode Island. From seaside
accommodations to rich cultural experiences, Bristol and Providence are two New
England cities worth visiting this year.
This
was a great little getaway to start out the turn of the nice weather!
