Maybe you moved away for work, or family. Maybe it was for school, or you just needed a change of pace. Whatever the case may be, any of us that have lived out of state for a while quickly realize that Rhode Island is a one of a kind place. There are so many unique things about the state that you’ll find yourself thinking about, even if you never expected to. Here are a few thoughts that have most likely crossed your mind since the move.
- You long for being a few miles from the ocean at all times!
Flickr/enjoiskate8 The beaches in Rhode Island are simply unmatched.
- “Autumn just isn’t the same anywhere else.”
Flickr/Rick Payette From apple orchards to hikes through gorgeous changing foliage, and so much more, the fall activities are simply amazing in Rhode Island.
- “There’s always an amazing park nearby in Little Rhody. Why not everywhere else?”
Flickr/Sean O’Neill Even if it’s just a charming small park found in the heart of the cities and towns across the state, you’re always right down the road from a lovely park in the smallest state.
- “I’d love to spend another summer day in Newport.”
Flickr/Jasperdo Exploring the shops and museums, soaking up the sun on the beaches, there are just so many wonderful things to do in Newport.
- “The islands of Rhode Island are the most magical.”
Flickr/Alexander Rabb The stunning views of Narragansett Bay from places like Block Island are amazing.
- “Del’s lemonade is always worth it.”
Flickr/smcgee The frozen lemonade of Little Rhody is so refreshing on a hot day. It almost doesn’t feel like summer without it.
- “I miss always being close to nature.”
Flickr/Matt Arcadia Management Area, Pulaski, Lincoln Woods; beautiful nature abounds.
- “Why is seafood just never as fresh as in Rhode Island?”
Flickr/duluoz cats Rhode Island is the Ocean State after all.
- “Rhode Island’s history really is exceptionally rich.”
Flickr/Doug Kerr From being the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, and it’s colonial roots, Rhode Island’s history is fascinating.
- “I just want to get a coffee milk at Cumbies.”
Flickr/Mike Mozart Coffee milk is a Rhode Island staple that you don’t expect to miss until you live somewhere else.
- “I have to drive how far?”
Flickr/likeaduck Living in Rhode Island means you’re used to everything being just a few minutes away. Any drive more than 15 minutes just feels impossible.
- “They call this Italian food?”
Flickr/Karen Neoh Rhode Island has one of the densest populations of Italian Americans and we’ve all become a little spoiled when it comes to authentic restaurants.
- “There’s no place like home.”
Flickr/Morrow Long Rhode Island is such a unique place with gorgeous attractions, one of a kind people, and so many traditions. Those of us that move away keep the smallest state in our hearts.
