Columbus Day Weekend is a great time to go to Block Island, Rhode Island! For those of you that have not heard of Block Island, it is a small, mostly still untouched, island off the coast of Rhode Island. You can get there by taking the Block Island Ferry, either High speed or the traditional ferry (takes about 55 minutes from Point Judith, Rhode Island)
The reason Columbus Day weekend is such a good time to go there is mostly because it does not get as crowded as in the middle of summer. There are a few shops still open, many have closed for the season, but there are some great specials going on in the one's that stay open for this last weekend.
My brother, who is a Block Island fan, decided to have his wedding on the Island at the Narragansett Inn 
and many of us got rooms there for the weekend. The service was wonderful, however you need to be a Block Island lover and remember that these Inns on the Island are "traditional". We had no TV, pretty much a room with a bed in an old Historical house, with an incredible view!
We all rode on the Block Island tour bus, took a couple of trips to North Light where the wedding would take place. My brother and his fiancee had asked me to officiate at the wedding and I was delighted to oblige. You can see the North light in the distance in this photo
After the ceremony, we all went back to the Inn for great food, music and dancing. The music was provided by the "Booze Beggars of Block Island" One of the guests wrote a song called Second Chances for the happy couple and is sending all of us a CD. All in all the weekend was absolutely perfect and the weather cooperated.
I also found out I am going to be a grandmother again!! Here is my daughter in law with my new baby girl on the way
and the proud grandmother (me) on the porch of the Narragansett. It was tough to choose just a few photos for this blog as I have hundreds, of course, both my husband and I having been the owners of Chrysalis, a Virtual tour company, we just can't help ourselves:)
Karen Hurst is a Realtor in Warwick, Rhode Island
If you live in the Warwick Neck Area, you may have already heard of or been into the Lil Warwick Neck Store.
Located on Warwick Neck Avenue, just before the turn off to the boat yards, it has reopened in the past year as a neighborhood deli with cozy little tables and chairs to sit and eat.
You can pick up your staples, like milk, bread and water. (Every New Englanders snowstorm package). Or, you can grab a quick bite to eat.

This little store has the ambiance of an old country store. If you are a boater, the Lil Warwick Neck Store would be the perfect place to pick up your snacks, lunches and dinners. They have just about everything you will need for a day on the water!
The menu is usually different when I stop in, but I have seen some wonderful homemade pies.

"I called Karen at Storm Realty LLC in Rhode Island because I had seen her sign a couple of streets over. I needed to sell a house that my family was living in and move them out of state. There was a language barrier as not all of my family could speak fluent English. On the day of closing, my sister could not be found. Karen not only searched for her but arranged a Sunday closing so we could all be there, picked up my family and drove them to the closing and gave them all gifts. I would definitely recommend her to anyone selling their home." J.B. Providence, R.I.
"We gave Karen our home to sell because she knew the neighborhood and the neighborhood values inside and out. We sold our house quickly without any problems at a great price! The buyers were delighted and so were we. We tell all our friends about Karen." DB & JB, Warwick. R.I.
I called Karen from a newspaper ad. She was the third one I called. The other two had not called back. Karen called me right away, we met and I signed a Buyers Rep agreement with her. She sent me to a place to get qualified, told me about different grants that I would qualify for and found a house within two weeks! I moved in for the holidays! I told Karen I would refer everyone I meet to her and I do. HP, Providence RI.
