Welcome to Rhode Island, a tiny piece of paradise on the East Coast! Whether we live here or are just visiting, we can all probably agree that this beautiful New England state is brimming with both manmade and natural beauty just about everywhere we look. No matter how far we travel or how long we’re gone, we often feel that rush of warmth when we first see that sign welcoming us to Rhode Island, an oh-so-sweet reminder that we’ve returned home.
