If you are staying in the New York area before school starts, here are some day trip ideas.

This Fall season, consider taking a spiritual day trip to one of these five locations:

1. Marian Shrine (Stony Point, NY) - The Marian Shrine offers retreats for adults and young adults, as well as members of the clergy. Everyone is invited to enjoy its beautiful garden of religious sculptures, the grandest being a 48 foot statue of the Blessed Mother.
