There's No Place Like Home

Colt State Park

Bristol, RI

So we spent 10 months, drove 18,000 miles or so, met amazing people and saw some beautiful places in this country. But now that we're home, I feel like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz... "There's no place like home. [click heels together] There's no place like home." Rhode Island is not a perfect place, but it's pretty darn close. For The Pierre Girls, the ocean is pretty near and dear to our hearts and we missed it a lot during our trip.

Within a 20-25 minute ride to anywhere in RI, we have:

Kayaking places

Beautiful beaches; Narragansett is our favorite

A Renaissance City; Providence

Historical villages; too numerous to name, but our favorite is Wickford

Hiking places; favorite is Acadia

Rockclimbing places; Purgatory Chasm in nearby MA

Beautiful places for awesome sunrises and sunsets; Beavertail in Jamestown is our favorite

Lots of open spaces; Goddard Park, Colt State Park to name two

Bike paths; north, south, east and west

Great libraries; borrow from one, return to another, yippee!

Tons of museums; with free passes from the library

And the list goes on and on...

It's good to be home.
