Fall In The Hudson Valley.

 

It's peak foliage right now in the Hudson Valley and each year we go to Sleepy Hollow to check out all the sights. We didn't do the whole "touristy" thing because we've gone so many times and it's a good thing because it was so crowded. I swear every year this area gets busier and busier with crowds. I know putting this spot on social media doesn't help. When some big influencer posts about a certain place everyone just has to go there. We've been coming here since Instagram was even a thing and now that I'm getting older it kind of bothers me that these quaint little towns are becoming so popular. Don't get me wrong I love people but not when it's super crowded! We love sleepy hollow and we will still come here but not during halloween season!

Irving's Legend In Tarrytown!

Last weekend we saw Irving's Legend for the second year in a row. We absolutely love Jonathan Kruk. He truly is a master storyteller and does such a great job. His voice is mesmerizing and the way he tells the story of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow is captivating. We took Noah this time around and he absolutely loved it. He has read the book and seen the movie with Johnny Depp many times! It's not scary to him at all. In fact, he would love to live in sleepy hollow in New York (so would I!) It was a fabulous evening and even though it rained; it gave it so much character as we watched Jonathan tell the story under a tent. We met him after the show and he is the kindest man you'll ever meet. You can tell he loves telling stories and books! My kind of pal. We could have talked all evening about Texas since that's our native state! And Noah's favorite part....was meeting the Headless Horseman! 

The Headless Horseman & Katrina Van Tassel.

Ever since I introduced Noah to the Legend of Sleepy Hollow movie last year he wanted to be the Headless horseman for Halloween this year. He also wanted Chelsea to team up with him somehow and so luckily I found the perfect costume for her to be Katrina Van Tassel minus the blond hair and I think they both look great in their costumes!
