Providence | Rhode Island

Last week my husband Scott surprised me with a trip to Providence, Rhode Island and then Cape Cod, Massachusetts to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary. We left on a Saturday afternoon and arrived in Providence with a voracious appetite deciding to stop into Ruth Chris Steakhouse for some, you guessed it, steak (sorry to disappoint my vegetarian readers). It was amazing, needless to say, and as I sipped on my Orange Citrus Mojito I noticed along the river banks I was looking out onto fires being lit and learned that we happened to catch the WaterFire event. After dinner, we walked along the riverbank, taking in my favorite scent of burning wood and watching the many hundreds of people walking along the oil lantern lit paths and listening to live opera, we were transported into a different time and felt as if we slipped back into the early 19th century. I noticed a young couple embracing under a tree and I was so moved by their illuminated silhouettes that I couldn't help but take their picture happening to catch it at the perfect moment the gondola drifted peacefully by. It was an amazing evening.
