Want to visit Newport, RI but a two hour plus car trip with the kids sounds too far? Break up the commute by taking the RIPTA Ferry from Providence to Newport.

The price is reasonable and the trip by boat is a mere 1 hour 5 minutes!  What fun to be had!

Once you're there, there is plenty to do (see GoNewport) and this is a Tall Ships year to boot!  So go and have fun!
