Day Seven:  We started our day with a trolley tour around Newport seeing the various historical sites along with a drive around the mansions of Newport.  We walked along the Cliff Walk (3.5 mile walking trail along the coast and behind many of the famous Newport mansions) and then stopped at The Breakers, the summer "cottage" of the Cornelius Vanderbilt family (70 rooms, built in 1895).  We left Newport for a quick drive into Providence, Rhode Island where we visited the Roger Williams National Memorial and the State Capitol before checking into our hotel.  After a quick break, we drive back into town to see The First Baptist Church in America, the oldest Baptist church in America; a drive through Brown University, and Benefit Street before stopping at Providence Place, a large shopping center over the Providence River.
