Below are the pictures from The Roosevelt Estate part of our excursion which actually came first in the day but that is neither here nor there.

The headstone of Franklin Roosevelt, one of the greatest presidents that this country has ever seen, and the only one ever to be elected to 4 consecutive terms in office. His and Eleanor (who's first name was actually Anna) is located right next to a lovely Rose garden that the girls enjoyed very much.

The estate belonged to FDR's parents and was a working horse farm, then it became the main residence of the president. These tiles are located in the main stable and even after all these years are just another reminder of the beauty that went into every detail.
