Let's spend a day together exploring two of Hudson Valley's most quietly beautiful corners, finishing with a meal worth the trip on its own.

We'll begin at New Croton Dam, one of the most impressive and overlooked landmarks in the entire region. The scale of the structure is quietly breathtaking, and the views of the reservoir and surrounding woodland make it a stunning place to walk, explore, and take it all in. It's the kind of spot that stops you in your tracks grand, historic, and completely unexpected this close to the city.

From there, we make our way to Muscoot Farm, a living history farm nestled in the rolling hills of Somers. The moment you step onto the grounds, the pace of the city falls away completely. Roaming animals, open barns, and wide meadows create an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and genuinely calming, the kind of unhurried countryside scenery that reminds you how close to nature New York really is.

After, we'll stop by Kisco Diner in Mount Kisco, known for its creative, one-of-a-kind menu that goes well beyond your typical diner fare.

We will meet in the city and travel together (transportation provided)
The cost of the trip is $58

Let's spend a long weekend together exploring one of America's most historically rich cities, with a little bit of everything: world-class museums, iconic landmarks, a presidential estate, and a charming waterfront town to send us home happy.

We leave Friday night after work and arrive with a full Saturday and most of Sunday ahead of us.

Saturday is our DC day. We'll spend the morning and early afternoon exploring the Smithsonian museums, among the most remarkable free museums in the world. There are several to choose from and everyone is welcome to pick what speaks to them most. Popular options include the National Museum of Natural History, the National Air and Space Museum, the National Museum of American History, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture. We'll grab lunch together in between, then spend the afternoon on foot taking in the iconic sights, the National Mall, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the Reflecting Pool. We'll finish the day with a group dinner together in the city.

Sunday we head to Mount Vernon, George Washington's beautifully preserved estate along the Potomac River. The grounds, mansion, and exhibits offer a surprisingly personal and fascinating window into the life of America's first president. This estate offer so much detail about colonial life and provides a glimpse into harsh reality of how slavery permeated the era. We'll spend a relaxed few hours exploring before making our way to Old Town Alexandria, a charming, historic waterfront district just minutes away. We'll explore the cit and have a farewell dinner together before heading home.
We will meet in the city and travel together (transportation provided). Further trip details will be provided once you RSVP.

The cost of the trip, which includes lodging, transportation, tickets to Washington's estate, is $315 for a shared room (someone you'r comfortable with) and $455 for a single room.
