Great pics....I love it there
One correction if I may...The Legend of Sleepy Hollow was written by Washington Irving not Irving Berlin

I wish more companies would offer trips up there. I'm about 2 1/2 hours from there and would love to see that in the fall/ Halloween time. Some companies did trips to the mansions around there but only had a brief stop over. Or to West Point via river cruise. I'm also waiting for trips to go to Sing Sing once they open the older part up as a tour/museum place. Any pictures of the Old Dutch Church?

mathjak107 · 08-26-2009, 07:36 AM

Headed to the dutch church and rockerfeller estate next time we go that way. also i want to see that church rockerfeller built with the stained glass by chagall and matesse

Pardon my ignorance, but why is that woman in old fashioned clothes? Are the photos of a museum? BTW, the photos are superb.
