Loving-long-Island.com contributor Emily Monaco has been visiting some of Long Island’s south fork wineries. Here’s what she had to say about Channing Daughters Winery, Duck Walk Vineyards, and Wolffer Estate Vineyard.
When you’re done in the vineyards check out Emily’s excellent food/philosophy of life blog Tomato Kumato.
This Memorial Day we decided to visit Sagamore Hill, the home of Teddy Roosevelt. The short road trip took us through the picturesque town of Oyster Bay where we found a couple of nice places to eat and a beach with scenic views.
The highlight of the day however, was folding the huge American flag at Teddy Roosevelt’s home. We were there for the last tour of the day and our timing couldn’t have been better: it was time to take the flag down and we were offered the chance to help.
What a great experience it was holding that flag. At Roosevelt’s house. on Memorial Day.
