The Biltmore Hotel, Los Angeles
A life long desire was finally accomplished this year! I stayed at The Biltmore Hotel in Providence, RI!! It’s now called The Graduate and was so cool! I spent NYE in Providence with my friend Ray and we had a wonderful time. Italian for dinner at Massimo’s in Federal Hill, nye celebrations with Fire Water at the 195 District Park followed by midnight at The Eagle and an Insomnia cookie on our walk back to the hotel. Then on New Years Day we went to Roger Williams Park zoo and Baba’s original New York system for hot weiners. All that with graffiti benching sprinkled in. 
This upcoming weekend I’m using my Christmas holiday at work and we’re going to New London/ Mystic CT! With a Vermont trip planned for the eclipse in April, Maine and New Hampshire will be the only New England states left to visit together! I think we’ll also do a NYC trip soon, maybe wait for warmer weather😅🥶 I want to see the Cooper Hewitt Museum of Design.

The butler’s pantry at The Biltmore Estate in North Carolina is out of this world. George Vanderbilt loves ships, so it influenced the design of this two deck room.
I miss living an hour away from here. I hope we get to visit again some day. This is from our honeymoon two years ago.
If only these were my gardens...
