Day 313 – Seaside Bonfire

Today was such a beautiful day! It was 65 degrees and the sun was shining- which needless to say is unseasonably warm for RI mid-November. I wanted to take advantage of this weather today so Vinny and I had a lovely lunch together outside. The sun shined gloriously on us and at one point I just closed my eyes and tried to put that exact feeling deep into my memory bank because I know winter is coming! I can’t complain though, I love all the seasons I really do. But after the winter we had last year, I know how to appreciate and take full advantage of days just like this.

Anyhow, people everywhere today were in really good moods and it was just an all-around good day. As Vinny and I were driving this evening, I asked him if he wanted to go to the Hyatt on Goat Island and see if they had the fire pit lit. He reminded me that he has never even been to Goat Island. I remembered then that I was by myself when I went on Day 135 to the Lighthouse.

So I knew right then that this was the perfect plan for tonight. I just love this hotel! As the night got cooler, they were offering hot Apple Cider in the lobby and S’mores kits were available for the fire as well. This hotel has a large, impressive bar, a restaurant and spa and so many other grand amenities.

We went through the lobby and out the back, down the stairs and to the long row of Adirondack chairs lined up directly on the water. They lit the fire just for us as there weren’t any other people out there at that time. Although the wind was picking up a bit and the air was definitely chillier than today, I loved it all the same. We sat there admiring the view with the illuminated boat masts, beautiful bridge and just let the warmth of the fire keep us comfy. We took some pictures and chatted away enjoying our beautiful island evening. #HGAL
