This May, we're headed to New England to celebrate Hannah's graduation from Middlebury (yay, Hannah!), but not before a road trip from Newark, NJ, to Vermont via Hyde Park, NY, for a day at the FDR Library, home and museum. It was a memorable visit to an historic place, with lots of interesting lessons and inspiration. Here are a few photos to get us started on our travel blog, circa 2014.
