For our first full day in Providence, we got up early and started walking. It was a crazy, busy day and we did a lot! We kind of wanted to see everything since we were there for such a short time.
We grabbed a coffee near our Air B & B and then walked along the river being epic photographers.

After our river walk, we went into the RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) Art Museum and we had so much fun. It was our first art museum together and it was gorgeous. The RISD really seems to have a little of everything.
We spent half the day in the museum and pretty much saw everything. They have some absolutely stunning pieces that you don't always find under one roof. There are Modern, Roman, Grecian, Renaissance, Chinese, Japanese, Impressionist and so many more styles of art represented in this art museum. My favorite style is impressionism but I was so impressed with the quality and representation of so many styles.
The rooms were in order... but somehow my pictures have gotten mixed! I didn't have the patience to try and resort them since there's so many of them!

Baros and I loved the art museum and we had the added bonus of checking off another of our
Bucket List since it was our first Art Museum together!
That was only the first part of our day but I think it's quite long thanks so all of the pictures so I'll put up another post with a restaurant review of Trattoria Zooma where we had the most amazing Italian lunch, and information about Federal Hill and some of the final sights that we saw in Providence!
