101 in 1001: Local Goals

Thursday, May 24, 2018


We still have about another year in New York and we really want to see some local attractions in that time.  This very well may be the only summer that Josh is actually here, so we're really hoping to check most of these off before October.

Visit Farm Sanctuary
Farm Sanctuary is a farm animal rescue that rescues farm animals from slaughterhouses, factory farms, and stockyards.  I am slowly moving myself toward a more vegan lifestyle.  I think visiting this sanctuary will be a great learning experience for me and also give me a chance to connect with these animals. 

Visit Kingston, Ontario
Kingston is only about an hour from Fort Drum and even though its small, I'd still love to explore this little Canadian city.  I was pleasantly surprised by Ottawa, and I'm hoping I will be with Kingston, as well. 

Visit Lake Placid
I've heard nothing but good things about this area of New York, plus it's in the Adirondacks.  I'd love to visit if we have time, but this is one that it wont break my heart if we don't make it, but if we do, great!   We'd also like to take the dogs since they love hiking, but we need to work on their leash manners first.

Visit Niagara Falls
This is a big one for Josh.  He's wanted to visit the falls since before we found out we'd  be moving to NY.  I've been, but I was 8 so I don't remember too much.  We are going to try to do this in the fall to celebrate being halfway done with our debt.

Visit Vermont or New Hampshire
This is another one that may or may not happen but I'd like to try.  Vermont is closer so it's more realistic.  I'd love to visit Burlington, but I'll take anything.

Visit NYC
I'm kind of cheating on this one.  I'm actually going to NYC soon.  Funny thing is, NYC is closer to home (MD) than it is to me now, and I live in New York. 

Go wine tasting in the Finger Lakes
I feel like if you don't do this while living in NY, you've failed at life.  I love the wine up here and I'd love to try out the wine in the finger lakes region.  Even just a day trip to two or three wineries would be fine by me.
