Hudson Valley NY Wednesday April 29, 2026 - Sunday May 3,2026
The Hudson Valley is one of the most scenic and historically rich areas in the United States. It is the closest we get to the beautiful European Rivers that are so popular to cruise. I have taken 40 rooms at the Inn at Bellefield in Hyde Park NY. Hyde Park is where the FDR Historical Site is, and also yet another Vanderbilt Mansion. Not quite the Biltmore, but impressive nonetheless. Other highlights will include West Point, where we will see the United States Military Academy, and Olana, the architecturally significant home of Frederic Church, one of the best known of the Hudson River School of painters. I am also trying to arrange for an actual cruise to see the Hudson up close and personal. I will keep people posted as the trip takes shape. If you have connections in the area or specific ideas you want me to consider, please let me know.
October 16 Update 72 Travelers With our recent trip to Banff (a tremendous success) in our rear view mirror, I wanted to remind everyone of our next planned excursion. It will be to the Hudson Valley, Wednesday April 29- Sunday May 3 2026. The trip will include visits to West Point, the FDR house and museum in Hyde Park, Olana, the home of Hudson River artist Frederic Church, various Hudson River mansions, and a cruise on the river, along with the usual fun dining venues. We will be staying at the Inn at Bellefield, in Hyde Park, NY. The trip is currently oversubscribed. If you care to be added to the waitlist, please let me know. For Banff, we had a long waitlist and everyone on it got on the trip. So don't be shy!! There are no general trips planned after this one currently, as Fritz and I have to start gearing up for our 55th (yes, 55th!!) Reunion in May 2027. Keep your eyes open for updates as we start planning for trips our 55th, and start planning for your trip back to campus for the Reunion May 27-30 2027. In the meantime, please let me know if you would like to be added to the Hudson Valley waitlist. Happy fall!!! Robby |
