“The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create–whatever the form of government–a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position.”

– George Washington (Farewell Address, 19 September 1796)

(Alexander Hamilton wrote Washington’s Farewell Address)

NY’s Backyard Tourism Portal

If there is one thing that I have regretted from living all over New York State, it is that I never took advantage of the delights of the location I was in. How I wish I had seen the Museum of Natural History and Trinity Church and other places when I’d lived in Manhattan! I didn’t take the opportunity to enjoy the many attractions of the places I lived. This blog was created for the purpose of telling the stories of our travels. We may not (yet) be able to travel all over the world, but New York is a fine place to travel for now. Read more about us here. And view our Google map of where we've been!
