The sun just crested over the horizon when I took this photo of the Slater Mill Historic Site in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

This historic mill is said to be the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution. It was modeled after cotton spinning mills first established in England.

Although it was a bitter 22°F outside, a scene like this does make me forget the cold for a few minutes.

Hotel Providence

10/10 Excellent

"We had another great stay at Hotel Providence — our go-to hotel in the city. Everything about it is perfect! We love the location (minutes to walk to the PPAC), the decor (so cool!), and all the friendly staff. Special shout-out to the smiling faces at the front desk; Racquel, Sebastian, and Elizabeth. Hope to see you all soon! "
