Although our time was short in the Ocean State, we crammed in a lot! We headed south with our first stop being Allie's Donuts for a delicious assortment of freshly made, melt in your mouth donuts (best glazed donut EVER!). Onward to South County and a stop at the watch tower on Tower Hill Rd. Boo hoo-- the trees are so tall that you can't get the breathtaking panoramic view of Narragansett Bay anymore. Still if you just feel the need for a slight vertigo panic, it's worth the climb. Then a swing by good old Harbour Island to see Granny. Of course you can't leave the island without a stop at the little beach for the view, to dip your feet, and to climb the dock. In the afternoon we braved the crowds in Galilee. A short visit to the beach and a lovely walk to Sand Hill Cove and back complete with Block Island ferry heading out. Clam cakes and Del's frozen lemonade--two treats not to be missed while in RI-before heading north again. We meandered in search of New York System weiners and bailed at the dicey neighborhood in Olneyville. Yes, having kids definitely lowers the risk taking factor. We found ourselves on Smith St. in Providence at The Original New York System Hot Weiners (www.originalnewyorksystem.com). Friendly service, counter seating, coffee milk and the unique flavor of a dog with meat sauce, mustard, onions, and celery salt. A perfect ending to our Rhode Island Day!
