The morning finds us driving to Hyde Park for a visit to Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s home (a National Historic Site) on the Hudson River. The 19th century estate, library and grounds provide us with a sense of American history as well as some great views of the Hudson River and surrounding area. We then travel to West Point for a tour of the famed United States Military Academy. Our tour includes seeing the Cadet Chapel – which contains one of the largest church organs in the world, Trophy Point, the site of Fort Clinton and the Parade Grounds – where cadets drill and march and where George Washington trained and organized the Continental Army. Tonight is special indeed, as we enjoy a visit to the Culinary Institute of America (which is the training site for some of the world’s great future chefs) and where we are treated to a delicious farewell dinner prepared by these chefs.
