• A New England Autumn

    While our itinerary included more waterfalls and covered bridges, breweries, and a visit to Delaware – our 50th state – life had other plans.

  • Wow-Worthy Waterfalls

    When a friend shared a post with the very best waterfalls in New York, we immediately added these two to our route back home. WOW!

  • A Vanderbilt Mansion

    How would you spend a huge inheritance received during the Gilded Age? Build a mansion (or two or three), of course!

  • First Lady of the World

    Today we'll continue the Hyde Park experience at Eleanor Roosevelt's Val-Kill country cottage. Eleanor deserved a post of her own!

  • Hyde Park Overnight

    We booked an overnight to visit FDR's home, Library and Museum, and Eleanor's retreat. A Vanderbilt Mansion is a National Historic Site?

  • Cheers to the Empire State

    Starting this day in Niagara Falls perched right next to its thundering waters, we took the scenic route to a lovely overnight in Sodus, NY.
