2019 Family Weekend

Hello blog friends.  Happy Friday and Happy first day of March!  I'm happy it's the start of March because that means in just a few weeks it will be the beginning of Spring.  🌷

Last weekend we went to Rhode Island to visit our daughter who is a freshman at Providence College.

Providence College had its Alumni and Family Weekend.

We usually stay at the Dean Hotel when we come to visit.

The Dean is a boutique hotel that's located in the heart of Providence's historic district.  They are a dog-friendly hotel with no additional fee, which we love so we can bring our dog with us.  This time Bosco didn't come on the trip since we were going to be so busy for the weekend.

We left early Saturday morning and arrived in time to go to the Dunkin Donuts Center for a
basketball game.

We met my daughter at the game and Providence College was playing against Marquette. Unfortunately, PC lost the game but we had a great time since it was our first time to a basketball game at the Dunkin Donuts Center.

We all went back to the hotel room to hang out for a while and take a rest.  My daughter needed to get her eyebrows threaded so we took a short walk to the salon.

My daughter was very happy to have her eyebrows all groomed and shaped nice.

At that point, we were really hungry so we stopped into Friskie Fries to get some fries.

We decided that we would all share the fries.  We picked #8 Fowl Play.

The fries had Crispy Chicken, Mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and Marinara sauce in a Chinese takeout container.  All three of us devoured the fries.  :)

Then we went to the hockey game at 5 pm and PC was playing against UMass Amherst.  This was such a fun game and we were happy because Providence College won the game 3-2!

After the hockey game, we went back to the hotel to hang out for a while.

My daughter and her friends hanging out in the lobby.  We all had a fun time taking photos of each other.

Next, we all had dinner at the restaurant Red Fin Crudo + Kitchen which is a very yummy tapas restaurant.  I didn't get any photos of dinner since we were all having such a great time.  It was so nice to see the girls laughing and so happy to be eating REAL food.

We met my daughter on Sunday morning on the campus at St. Dominic Chapel for the Alumni and Family Weekend Mass.

After mass, we all went to Rebelle Artisan Bagel for breakfast.  My daughter and husband shared their bagels which consisted of a spinach frittata and bacon on a bagel.

 A cream cheese and lox bagel shown below.  I had a fried egg on a bagel which was so yummy that I forgot to take a photo of it.  LOL.

It was such a whirlwind weekend and we had such a great time visiting with my daughter.  It was time to head back home to get Bosco.

Have you ever visited Providence, Rhode Island?  

Thanks for visiting and hope you all have a Happy Friday!
