Long Island

November 15, 2011 at 7:00 pm | Posted in Travel | 1 Comment

We went to Long Island this past weekend for a somewhat relaxing time. We got caught in some traffic because they are filming a new Batman movie in New York City and ventured into Harlem (that was an experience). Highlights from the trip were:

1. Seeing the tickler (feather on a long stick) used in old churches to keep people awake during long sermons.

2. Fire Island Seashore and Lighthouse

3. Seeing the US Navy blimp at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn

4. Teddy Roosevelt’s house and farm (we have decided he is our favorite president)

5. General Grant’s Memorial which is the largest mausoleum in North America
