We headed north from the Jersey shore

eventually reaching New York Harbor.

We docked and explored Jersey City by day

and took in some impressive sights in the evening.

We continued north on the Hudson River the next day, traveling under the George Washington and Verrazzano Bridges;

finally reaching Half Moon Bay where we hiked the area around the New Croton Dam.

Our next day was a very long, but beautiful cruise farther north past West Point,

enjoying amazing lighthouses and stunning bridges,

until we finally arrived in New Baltimore.
