Jen and I took a short trip to Sagamore Hill, the home of Teddy Roosevelt. It is nestled next to Oyster Bay and there are sailboats everywhere. The house itself is beautiful yet modest and it reflects the fact that his family lived there as well. There are gifts from several dignitaries and countless heads of stuffed animals strewn throughout the place. It was very interesting and a perfect way to spend a fall day. The colors of the changing leaves were quite inspiring as well. You can get some more detailed information from the following site:
