For three years I have been making an annual trip to Northampton, MA to holiday shop. For three long years I have been filled with a burning curiosity about a truly bizarre roadside attraction. After three long years, I finally made it to the Dead Frog Circus in Holyoke, MA…and […]
Schoharie County has a plethora of lovely spots to visit. A really great museum is the Blenheim-Gilboa Visitors Center. It has fun interactive science exhibits which show you how energy is created. Next door is the Lansing Manor where you can take a free tour of the estate built in […]
I had a great time in the Catskills the other day with a friend meandering about roads watching the leaves change their colors. First stop was Kaaterskill Falls for a worthy little hike. The lower trail begins with Bastion Falls, and leads you to the bottom of NY’s tallest two-tiered […]
I made a stop at Grant’s Cottage in Wilton and had a walk about the grounds. I started in the gift shop/museum. I looked at the artifacts and read some quotes about Ulysses S. Grant’s last days. A ‘death mask’ was on display, which I thought to be very odd […]
My Mom and I had such a hoot visiting Muscoot Farm in Katonah, Westchester. The grounds are free to enter and there is a whole lot to see! First you notice all of the farm animals. I enjoyed observing and spending some time with the many different creatures about. There […]
This week I took a road trip to the Finger Lakes Region with my Mom! Day 1: We stayed in a little town called Horseheads, a central location to many of the areas we wanted to explore. We got into the area just in time for lunch and traveled in […]

One of my favorite places on this earth is Robert Moses State Park in Babylon, Long Island. When I am home visiting my family I journey out to the beach as much as possible. There is nothing better than the sun, the ocean, and a long walk in nature. I […]
After a week of rainy cloudy days I decided to spend a solid 12 hours out and about yesterday. At 8 AM we set out to Rome to visit Fort Stanwix, a beautifully maintained national monument. There is rich history here in a beautiful setting. You may enter through fantastic […]
A trip to Hudson is a great little getaway, a scenic trip less than an hour away. A visit to Olana can make you forget the world you’re leaving behind. The grounds are beautiful abundant in nature, and free to wander if you just want to take a hike on the […]
Tonight is First Friday in Albany, which means a lot of stores, galleries, museums, and bars are holding special events. I love taking advantage of the free admission to the Albany Institute of History and Art (you can also come here for free with an Albany Public Library museum pass). […]
The Berkshire Museum is great place to go especially if you have kids to entertain, or if you are a kid at heart. There are diverse and hands-on exhibits ranging from dinosaurs, animals of the Berkshire environment, art, minerals, and even a little aquarium. The museum is small and easily seen […]
