The next day, we first made a stop at "Roadside America", an extensive miniature display with several villages depicting several eras. All kinds of transportation modes, and things one could operate with switches. We even stayed through a "night".

Finally on July 4th, we headed back to RI via the more scenic Bear Mountain Bridge, and our most favorite pizza restaurant, Angelo's, in Groton, Connecticut. We had traveled a total of 3451 miles.
