About 20 years ago I started going River Yoga. I dragged my gym teacher mother to her first class and now she teaches it. Year after year more people would come and now it has its own life. Liz Price Kellogg was our only instructor those days and we basically had private instruction. We would do our Yoga class everywhere and anywhere. With a handful of students we would practice at The Opera House in Clayton, Clayton Yacht Club, French bay marina, Antique Boat Museum Cla

I absolutely love old grocery stores. Crazy, but it is very calming for me to shop here. I can’t find everything I need but I do try to get something. I have been coming to the Big M in Alexandria Bay for 30 years and I don’t think it has changed one bit. It’s like looking at a piece of Americana history. I feel these stores are an endangers species are about to be extinct and I need to document them before they go.

You can't beat this deal. Bring your RV or Boat for a great deal on The St. Lawrence River right on the edge of Alexandria Bay, NY. I like site #15, #17 just a little walk to a great view. Also #76 has a peak a-boo river view. This state park doesn't have hookups but it does have easy access to restrooms with showers that are in good shape despite the constant use, not spotless but in good condition. The River water is too swift for swimming so they over compensate with a

My family has been coming to 1000 Islands since the 70's and I grew up on the river. This hotel is not like others up here. I love Clayton it was always a sleepy little river town with crazy potential. Businesses after business have come and gone in Clayton but this hotel was developed right and fits the class of this unassuming town. "Hats Off " to The Harbor Hotel's creator because it is fabulous and really brings Clayton to life. The rooms are pricey but looking at it

I am a local here and Bella's is one of the best places to eat up in 1000 Islands NY and Ruby is welcome on the patio. The homemade bread is delicious and you will want to take home a loaf. The soup has always been a favorite. Great view great food and great service. Absolutely one of my all time favorite places. Bella's Bistro with a river view crafts breakfast, breads & pastries plus light lunches & dinner entrees. Address: 602 Riverside Dr, Clayton, NY 13624 Hours: O

I have been coming to this stand for years. It is an Amish farmer that has the best fruits and produce. The scenery is picture perfect but I wasn't feeling camera intrusive today. So here is a picture of my bounty and all for uner $10.00.

This beach has some great waves. I was tossed around like a rag doll because I wasn't expecting it. These four foot waves provide local surfers with some serious surf fun. Bring your boogie board and a set of fins. This is a true locals beach and although there are plenty of rentals units available there aren't hotels littering the coastline, yet. This is a wonderful beach vacation away from the tourists. It's still affordable and has all the conveniences of an American su

We lived outside of Knoxville, TN for 1 year and we didn't even know The Knoxville Museum of Art has free admission and an incredible collection. I really love the southern art.

The Tennessee Theatre, Knoxville, TN. The beautiful Victorian style movie theater built in 1928 has an array of venues from The Book of Mormon to Yanni playing this July. I didn't get to see the inside of the theater but it looks very dramatic and I would love to see something - I was interested in that beautiful surrounding. The friendly lady behind the counter informed me that every Monday on the first of the month there is a free tour with live entertainment at 12 noon.
