In keeping with the now three year tradition of spending Columbus Day with Jacob and Carly, we decided to do a day trip to Sleepy Hollow- home of the famous legend written by Washington Irving.
We went to the Tarrytown Cemetery (one of the oldest in the country) where we got a history lesson from a crazy old man (think the 'groundskeeper' from Scooby Doo), saw the grave of Washington Irving, and ran across the bridge made famous by Ichabod Crane trying to outrun the headless horseman.
The day also included lunch at The Horseman Cafe, a walk through some beautiful fall foliage, and finally topping it all off with a shopping trip at Target (a luxury when you live in Manhattan).
It was a fantastic day out of the city with friends, and I loved that we were already planning our next trip before we even crossed back over the Hudson River.

Hi, I found this in a google alert and man, am I glad I did. I love when people share their pictures. I recently posted a ton of pictures from my most recent trip to Sleepy Hollow and the cemetery. (Including some awesome pics of the cemetery after dark.) Great post. myspace.com/laverday
