As my husband and I began planning a summer vacation, we weren’t actually sure where we wanted to go. Arizona would be much too hot. We had already visited California and Florida. So we decided to visit New England.

In preparing for our trip, I contacted the Rhode Island Community Foundation to ask for some suggestions on where to go and what to see. The lady I spoke with was very helpful in providing me with ample information for our trip. She even went as far as sending me several maps and tourist guides in the mail.
