Mimosas and Memories! - The lighthouse and mimosas cruise was the best! It was a great way to see the whole bay and learn about the history of Rhode Island! Went on with a few high school friends celebrating our 55 birthdays!! The crew was amazing, super friendly and personable. Thanks for the memories, we had a great time!
