For mother's day this year, I decided to take my 81 year old mother to visit one of her (and my) favorite people in Providence Rhode Island. My college student/daughter. Instead of staying in the city of Providence, I decided to find somewhere nearby in a small coastal town. I wanted to find a place where my mother and I could enjoy some down time during our visit. And we certainly hit the jackpot. Steven and JoAnn's 1 bedroom apartment in Wickford just about 25 minutes south of Providence was more than perfect! My mother immediately fell in love with both the apartment and our hosts and everything about our visit exceeded my expectations.
Steven was so welcoming and hospitable. From the moment I booked the reservation to the minute we pulled into the driveway. He insisted on taking our bags and settling us into their lovely apartment. It was cozy, spotless and filled with so many goodies. From the sand pebble shaped chocolates, to the home baked breads waiting for us on the table, to the snacks in the basket and fruit and wine in the refrigerator. The home made soaps in the shower and the cozy bedding on both the master bed and the pull out couch spoiled us...and made us feel like special guests! Steve introduced us to his lovely wife Joanne. They both made lots of suggestions on where to eat and what to see! They welcomed my daughter when she came to visit...and left us fresh donuts and scones on Saturday morning! The historic town of Wickford, just a few minutes away was absolutely precious...and the people there were also so welcoming! I can't thank our hosts enough for making this early mother's day weekend such a hit with both my mother and daughter! And now I can't wait to return with my husband. Steve and Joann told us they have a kayak and bicycles for us to use next time! Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend! We'll be back!
