Sagamore Hill is a great place to visit for those nature lovers and history buffs. The tour of the Roosevelt house was interesting as well as a full museum on Theodore Roosevelt. This branch of the natural park service also included a nature trail that takes you to the pretty beach in the picture. Along the trail we were able to spot beautiful wild flowers many chipmunks, squirrels, deer, egrets, butterflies, crawfish, salamanders, etc.... Not one of the most majestic national parks I've been to but interesting, very pretty and a great mix of both history and nature! We spent 3.5 hours there including taking the house tour, thoroughly reading through everything in the museum and taking a stroll to the beach. It's near the cute historic town oyster bay which is a great town to stroll through and get lunch!

The 9/11 “Tribute in lights” is an annual event to commemorate those who perished on that tragic day. 88 xenon lights illuminate the sky to replicate the The World Trade Center twin towers. The lights are visible for an 11 mile radius. A misconception is that these lights emanate from the two reflecting pools in ground zero. (I was guilty of this as well) but they are actually located at the top of the battery Park garage in lower Manhattan. Once again let’s never forget the thousands who lost their lives also the greater number of family and friends that they left behind.
