I always wanted to visit the Civil War site at Gettysburg. The National Park Service’s Military Park located in southern Pennsylvania is constantly a topic of conversation in my family, but I never stepped foot on its soil until recently. When driving south to a wedding on I-81, I noticed the Gettysburg exit and decided […]

The American Miracle: Happy 4th of July
by Craig Zabransky on July 4, 2014 in Adventure Mindset, Postcards
I stepped on the ice and instantly felt the chill. No, it wasn’t the coldness of the arena or the ice itself, but the chill recalling a positive and patriotic childhood memory. As a hockey fan (now a huge New York Ranger fan) I watched the game in 1980, I believed in miracles. Yes, I […]
Watching the New York City Fireworks at Ink 48
by Craig Zabransky on July 2, 2014 in Events
A few years ago I watched the 4th of July fireworks on the Hudson River from Pier 66. Impressive. New York City always puts on an inspiring and well choreographed display to celebrate America’s birthday. Last year I received an invitation to watch the fireworks in VIP fashion as a guest at one of my […]
Sunset Sunday-The Canalside Waterfront in Buffalo, New York
by Craig Zabransky on July 7, 2013 in Sunset Sunday
I arrived to the Liberty Hound just before sunset. The restaurant adjacent to the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park, the largest inland naval park in the U.S, in the canalside district provided both outdoor and indoor seating for dinner. I chose indoors (available), placed my order, and then quickly headed outdoors with […]

Sunset Sunday – 4th of July on the Hudson River, New York
by Craig Zabransky on June 26, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
Last year, with the 4th of July fireworks on the Hudson River (and not the East River), spectators watched two shows. Not only did they get a chance to see one of the largest firework displays in the country, but they also had a chance to see a sunset. For the prized view, you needed […]
Sunset Sunday – Benton, PA (Happy 4th of July)
by Craig Zabransky on July 4, 2010 in Sunset Sunday
Sometimes the search for ‘Americana’ needs to take people out of the city. And although I love the 4th of July celebrations and fire works display of New York City, to find a unique slice of America, that apple pie making corner, I believe (at times) one must venture to the countryside. Thankfully from New […]
