This beautiful state park was the location of Noel and Amaris' first date. Home to the third oldest lighthouse in the United States, Beavertail State Park is the perfect location to visit for fishing and nature enthusiasts.

Those rocks are slippery! It also sports a little aquarium --- Which is great for the kids! --- open daily from 10:30 am-4:30 pm in June (unless otherwise noted). No cost for admission.
The location of one of Noel and Amaris' favourite dates ever! Walk through a vital piece of American Military History at Battleship Cove! Housing the USS Massachusetts, one of the only 8 remaining WWII Battleships worldwide, this Museum is the perfect way to spend a day both learning and having fun! Known as the "Lucky Ship" the Massachusetts never lost a single man in battle, despite fighting in many battles all over the world. If you prefer wandering through something a little smaller than a battleship, the museum also houses the USS Joseph P Kennedy Jr. (Destroyer) and the USS Lionfish (Submarine). (Located in Fall River, Massachusetts, this attraction is a little further away, but SO worth it) God bless all who have fought and died in wars in service to their country.
If you like art, this is place for you! Known for its collection of both classical and modern art, the RISD Museum is the perfect place to spend an afternoon when wandering through the streets of Providence.
