Explore Providence with its fine restaurants, nightlife, and special events. Take a ferry to Block Island. And don't forget Massachusetts! Take a ferry to Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket. Drive to Boston with its Art and Science Museums, the Kennedy Library, and endless array of historic sites. Travel to Cape Cod for a day...so doable..particularly during the week.
