We live in New York's Capital Region by happenstance of birth and employment; we stay here (Schenectady, Saratoga, Albany County areas) on purpose. Surely we remain primarily because of family and friends; but we also love the area and what it offers including its proximity to some very cool destinations a day or so away.

Rose Garden, Central Park Schenectady, NY

Long Island never ceases to amaze us.
