I Love New York Travel

As a kid, I disliked yellow. As an adult, I like its sunny disposition and cheery brightness. More than anything, I love yellow for what it means to us historians in New York State: historical markers! While on the road, I am always seeking out these blue and yellow historical markers punctuated on open fields or next to old homes.

The state license plate design once looked like these historical markers with the blue body with yellow trim. Now, they are white with the Statue of Liberty on them. I much prefer the historical marker look, it depicts more of what New York is: loaded with history.

You can find more assorted historical markers at my Flickr site and the State’s official marker site, here.

Number 4. Perfect for us. I have four kids and we’re always doing zany things with 4. It was difficult to choose just one photo.

Here are the four Mecombers, in their usual “hammy” pose. A mom with a travel and photo blog couldn’t have asked for better kids. They just LOVE fooling around in front of the camera. It was taken when we visited the Erie Canal Village in Rome, NY. What a great place!
