i landed in providence bright and early on saturday and headed straight to the hotel. {color me impressed! for a very reasonable price, we got a big, comfy bed, a spacious room, and a gorgeous bathroom. bonus points for incredibly friendly hotel staff.} after i got settled in, the beau picked me up and we had lunch at bravo brasserie. color me impressed again. we went halvsies on the croque madame and lobster club. both were delish, but i preferred the lobster club. the beau voted for the croque madame. he had a cup o' chowda {a recurring theme over the weekend} and i had a glass of bubbly. we sat at one of the outdoor seats and people watched. all in all, an ideal way to start the weekend.
chowda + bubbly = tres bien
i slept in sunday morning and watched wimbledon {i was so excited for djokovic!} while the beau worked. then it was off to newport! i fell madly in love with the darling towns we passed through on the way. barrington and bristol were both decked out for the fourth and every house featured the most GORGEOUS hydrangea bushes. i was squealing the entire drive. bristol has the country's oldest continuing 4th of july celebration. they even paint the traffic lines red, white, and blue!
