Traveling to Providence

May 6, 2015 · 1 Comment

Traveling to ProvidenceLast weekend I headed up to my old college town, Providence, Rhode Island – the place that became my home for four years, gave me the best of friends, and memories and experiences that are still some of the best I’ve had. My alma mater’s alumni weekend brought together fellow greeks, and it was great to see friends who became more like family in just the first days of living together in the dorms, laughing and smiling back at those years. I still can’t believe that I graduated four years ago, or that it was eight years ago that I was just a young teen venturing out into the world on her own, and exploring this city for the first time. Traveling to ProvidenceProvidence has a character all it’s own. I love the city itself, it’s a manageable size, not overwhelmingly large like NYC, but spread throughout different neighborhoods. You’ve got Federal Hill, a street long and home to amazing restaurants and eateries. I mean with one of the best culinary schools in the country, it’s no surprise this city has some of the best eats in New England, and the food scene has gotten even better since I’ve left. I seriously wish I was living here now.

Traveling to ProvidenceOur view of downtown and the Harbor from the Biltmore. The Johnson & Wales Culinary campus is actually alongside the harbor, and you get some great views from the culinary labs. Not bad when you’re stuck in a kitchen classroom for 6, fun and fast, hours. 
Traveling to ProvidenceSeriously nothing like a bagel from Bagel Gourmet Cafe to make this girl happy, and bring back plenty of memories. Just the drive to Thayer St. and the Brown University and RISD Area was worth it. It was always my favorite. Great parks, small eateries that are all amazing, and great unique shops with something for everyone. Historic brownstone and colonial houses line the streets, making you wish you lived in one. Traveling to Providence Traveling to ProvidenceOne of Providence’s biggest attraction when warmer days come around is WaterFire, when pits of fire light up the river during weekend nights. Plenty of outdoor eating, activities and live music to go with it!Traveling to Providence Traveling to Providence Traveling to ProvidenceI would drive by the State Capitol building every single day, multiple times even, but only now, four years after graduating, do I appreciate this city’s beauty and history even more. Traveling to Providence Traveling to ProvidenceI really love cherry blossoms, really though I just love flowers and everything in nature. Traveling to ProvidenceWhile the boys played their alumni football and softball games, I did some shopping at Providence Place and walked around the heart of downtown. It really was the perfect way to start my Saturday, an amazingly beautiful morning on my own seeing some favorite places, and reminiscing over many wonderful memories. Nights out, delicious lunches, sorority fundraisers and volunteer work done at almost every corner I turned.  
Traveling to Providence Traveling to Providence Traveling to Providence Traveling to Providence Traveling to Providence Traveling to ProvidenceI forgot how much I loved living up here and being surrounded by water, and all things nautical. 
Traveling to Providence Traveling to ProvidenceNot only did I stop to smell the flowers, but to look at all the little details hidden within the city too. Traveling to ProvidenceYou see that building on the left? Have you watched Ghostbusters, I hope so, because the scene where the giant Marshmallow Man is on the top, it’s that one! And talk about ironic, because the movie was playing that afternoon while we were relaxing in the room before dinner. Traveling to ProvidenceAll mailboxes should be gold and antique like this one. Traveling to ProvidenceA trip to Providence could not be complete with a meal at one our favorite breakfast spots, OV’s. I mean my dad even loves this place, and chooses it over any restaurant on Federal Hill. I’ve been craving Huevos Rancheros and left our weekend getaway content with my walk-down-memory lane meal.

I’m planning another trip up again soon, I just didn’t see enough of this city I hold dear to my heart. If you every head up to New England, stop by Providence it’s worth a visit.

tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight of the fact I get to create & "work" w. beautiful flowers; one of the things I love so much & one of the joyful parts of creating & sharing my work w. others. But this whole social media thing is weird right, the world is weird & broken right now -- as creatives seems like are new age question is "do I post this pretty picture when this is really happening right now?! but it's also kind of my job to put my work out there for others to see, right?!" ... but I’m learning, funny enough, by some inspiring women on this platform, it's ok to feel all these things while also sharing the joyous, cool & helpful things we are all working on, creating & hoping to bring into this world. Life is filled w. beautiful & sad moments, happiness, joy, grief, fear, doubt, love. All the tiny things🤍

& if anyone watched last night's This is Us, how beautiful was their telling of one's final moments, looking back at life. Ugh my heart😢
There’s one word to describe the first full even There’s one word to describe the first full event of the season…ethereal🤍

Event season is in full swing & it’s nice to finally step aside from planning to bring all the ideas, time & details to life!
“We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, “We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, rising & falling into our weathered souls…” - Angie Weiland-Crosby🌼

May is the start of a busy few months of events, so I’m going to make sure I prioritize Rest whenever I can. But also plenty of garden days, living & cherishing simple moments — because when the busy days will feel like a blur or the state of the world (big/small) only adds to the mental drain, I know these will be the things that keep me going🤍
Wishing @vanessa_elizete & Al a very happy anniver Wishing @vanessa_elizete & Al a very happy anniversary🤍my how time has flown, here’s to many more celebrations of love…
