Block Island, RI

Block Island is one of our favorite places to vacation as a family.

Block Island is one of our favorite places to vacation as a family.  I remember boating to the island for the first time when I was younger and feeling entranced by the blue sky, green grass, and texture of the sand.  Now, making the annual trip with kids, a dog, and loads of stuff, we take the ferry for visits to the island.  When the ferry enters the breakwater, the surrounding beauty instantly relaxes me.  Block Island is absolutely one of the most casual places to gather.  I can happily leave my high heels at home!

While on the island, it’s family tradition to go clamming.  We also have favorite spots, like Winfield’s  for dinner or Aldo’s for great coffee and friendly faces.

What’s your favorite destination to leave stress behind and relax with family?
