Hello blog friends. I hope you all enjoyed celebrating the long weekend and Memorial Day. I've been away on vacation for two weeks and it feels great to be back home. Please bear with me as I am going to try and catch up with my blog posts and blogging.
We had a quick visit to Providence, Rhode Island again at the end of April. My daughter sings in her college choir at Providence College and they were going to have their last spring concert.
 |
We were happy to stay in the Hotel Providence as they are a dog-friendly hotel. We like that since we can bring Bosco with us for the weekend. Our usual hotel we stay in, the Dean Hotel was all booked up. I did a blog post back in March HERE about the hotel and Providence College alumni and family weekend we attended.
 |
When we arrived at our hotel it wasn't ready yet so we all took a quick walk around the area. Some of you may remember the last time we visited there was snow on the ground and cold outside.
Providence is so pretty to visit in the spring as the trees are just starting to bud and open.

When we visit Rhode Island, Bosco is so good and likes his car rides. He LOVES his visits to see his sister.
 |
My daughter's college friends were so happy to spend time with Bosco while our daughter had her concert.
 |
Below I was able to get a photo of my daughter and the singers in St. Dominic's Chapel. It was such a lovely concert and we were so happy to hear everyone sing.
We had dinner after the concert at an awesome Greek restaurant called Andreas located on Thayer Street, right near Brown University.
 |
The next day we picked up my daughter at school to go to breakfast. Our daughter lived in the building seen below and had great views of the city of Providence.
 |
I walked around the campus with Bosco taking photos of the buildings.
 |
 |
We had breakfast at a cute cafe that is in a bicycle shop.
 |
This coffee shop sells a fancy breakfast and Nitro cold brew coffee. They also have a cart that goes around to the nearby colleges selling Nitro brew coffee.
Some of you may remember seeing the photo below on my Instagram @brklynhousewife.
 |
We all sat outside at a table since we had Bosco with us. The coffee, bagel, and breakfast sandwiches were so good.
 |
You can see below photos inside the coffee shop and many bicycles hanging on the wall.
 |
After we dropped off my daughter she gave us some of her things from her dorm room to bring back home with us.
P.S. My daughter has everything all moved out of her dorm room and back home.

I can't believe that my daughter has finished her freshman year at college. I feel a little sad that we won't be going back to Providence, Rhode Island until the end of August. We all enjoy our visits and we are looking forward to the return in the fall.
In the meantime, I am happy to have my college girl home for the summer! 😎

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.

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.
