Today I went to the Vanderbilt Mansion, the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Val-Kill, Eleanor Roosevelt's home after her husband passed away. It was a beautiful day and it was really fun to go see something I've wanted to see for a long time.
You can see why they choose this piece of property. The views of the Hudson Valley were incredible!
This home was the smallest of the 43 mansions built by Vanderbilt children. Hard to imagine the bigger ones isn't it!
Just down Route 9 a little further South is the home of Franklin D. Roosevelt. This is the home he was born in and the one he died in.
Because we were there the day after Memorial Day there were still all these wreaths by FDR's grave.

This is Val-Kill, Eleanore Roosevelt's home after FDR passed away.
The Parks Service person said that they have preserved this home because of Eleanore's work with the United Nation. She met with many really important leaders of countries here.
