Sleepy Hollow, New York.

A little about our anniversary trip. 

Wednesday 10/09/13 the night we arrived in Stamford, Connecticut. 

Jon's been asleep for about an hour and I'm watching paranormal activity. And I just took the time to do this 
Julie: What the hell are you doing Carly 
Drinking free water
Now I'm waiting for the elevator 

Thursday October 10

So after dinner we get back to the hotel and we get changed out of fancy clothes...And then we both realize, again, we have nothing to drink. And I'll be damned if I'm going to give in to the $3 bottle of water....So we get dressed to go out again, make an absolutely ridiculous trip across the street (which included walking down the block, waiting for the sign to say we can go, walking back the other way because the store was literally right across the street but there's all kinds of signs about jaywalking). And we go into this Amir Market (really the name) and we get there of those Arizona iced tea big cans for the price of...you guessed it...$3. So then, we start our ridiculous walk back and as we pass by the Boost mobile store (which is closed, all dark inside) and a Doberman pincher runs and jumps on the front windows from the inside...scares the shit out of both of us...

Friday October 11

We've been to sleepy hollow and back today. We walked down to the Hudson and saw the Tappan Zee bridge. Not too long ago we got done with Irving's Legend which was a dramatic performance of the tale of sleepy hollow. We are currently sitting at a sports bar called The Huddle. World Cup qualifier is on and USA is playing Jamaica. USA scores. So Jon says "maybe Jamaica should stick with bobsledding" lmao

Saturday October 12

Today we went and walked around Cove Island Park. 

It was gorgeous looking out over Long Island sound. Tonight we have Horsemans Hollow which should be awesome but we have some time to kill before that so who knows what we will get into

Well we did a lot of walking around, some eating, some drinking. Horsemans Hollow was pretty good as far as "haunted attractions" go. 

Sunday October 13

Check out day! We were sluggish and lazy getting out of bed so we were only 10 minutes late checking out. Then...Jon thinks he may have forgotten something very important at the hotel. So before we get on 95 I'm trying to find a place to pull over so Jon can get out and check his bags. Well it just so happens that where we decides to try and pull over was apparently a location in which a lot of unfortunate people hang out waiting for a ride. As soon as I slow down, two of them come running for the car. I promptly floor the gas pedal so as to not appear like I'm trolling the area for hitchhikers. Well that was awkward. And scary


Well from there it was off to Norwalk to visit the Maritime Aquarium and see Man of Steel in IMAX. Aquarium was good, Man of Steel was better. 

Then it was the Great Pumpkin Blaze (our last event). We had to drive back towards Sleepy Hollow for that to Croton on the Hudson. Yes. That's the name of the town. This thing was AWESOME. 

I would definitely recommend to anyone that can that they go see this!! 

Long drive home, the end. 

No but really after that we left and didn't get home until 1 and my poor honey had to get stuff together so he could go back to work today (perfect timing since the money will be nice but not perfect timing since we knew we'd be getting back late.) 

And then I slept until 12:30....
😴

Garden

I put together the flower bed yesterday. Did this one all by myself and I hope it makes my mom proud. I took a lot of the what she did last year and changed it up just a little.

And of course all that ended with this 

Oh and I can't forget about this guy. My birthday present from the hubs. 

That is all for now

Wow

I believe I pulled a back muscle. This is very painful. All day I've been trying to make it go away and it will not. Cannot be ignored now. My "Friday night" and I'm stuck, immobile in bed. Wonderful.

Hopefully the Flyers win!

Please stop it, Instagrammers.

You know what really grinds my gears?

When I go a'browsing on the Instagram looking for things like clouds or sunsets and all I see is a bunch of pictures of silly people's faces.

Are you a cloud, Mr smiling into the bathroom mirror? No.

Are you a sunset, Ms and Ms teenage girl making silly faces as the camera because they are just so silly? No.

Why am I being forced to see you when all I wanted was a good picture of the sky?

Please stop.
