Philly, Pats v. Geno's, Terror Behind the Walls
Pin It now!
An all-in-one-day trip. Pat's won over Geno's. Annie got to see the Liberty Bell for the first time. We made a pit stop at the Reading Terminal, but I missed the Amish pickles again. The ladies were left behind in the haunted prison hallway while the guys ran ahead.

Halloween Weekend
Pin It now!
Oh, and if you haven't heard, it snowed...a lot....in October. I can't remember it snowing before Halloween. Next week, it's supposed to be in the 60's. Go figure...strange weather people.
Happy Halloween!
Since we stayed at home for Halloween this year for a party thrown by our building, we recycled our costumes from last year. Does this look familiar? They were out again this year and hubby won best male costume. Our prize...$50 maid service which means we're throwing a big party soon and we don't have to clean up afterwards! A few of my favorite costumes...the classic couple socket & plug and Mr. 1%.

The Weekend
Pin It now!
On Saturday, hubby, a couple of friends and neighbors and I took a road trip upstate. People told me that Westchester, Dutchess and Ulster Counties are not really upstate, but isn't anything north of the Bronx upstate? Believe me.
We started with lunch at Horsefeathers in Sleepy Hollow and then drove through the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. We somehow missed the Headless Horseman bridge made famous by Washington Irving's story, but driving through was a little spooky enough. We drove up a little more and stopped by Sprout Creek Farm for cheese. Lots of cheese - they gave us all a cheese tasting of twelve delicious cheeses. My favorite was the Madeleine - something close to a Parmesan. We walked around the farm which reminded me of farm from Marky Mark's fabulous film The Happening. (If you haven't already seen it, I was just being sarcastic right now. Don't bother.)
We ate again (of course) before heading up to Ulster Park for the main reason for the road trip, the Headless Horseman Hayrides. I was a little freaked out before we went since everyone who had gone before said it was pretty scary. It was fun! Definitely scary though - there are actors dressed up as zombies and freaky monsters that jump out at you. The worst part was a little corridor that was completely dark and you had to feel your way through. Freaked me out.

Happy Halloween! I'm lazy so all you're going to get are lots of pictures (mostly of other people's costumes).

happy halloween!
this year hubby and i were going to skip dressing up for halloween since he wasn't sure how his knee would hold up after his acl surgery. at the last minute though a few of friends decided to go out and get dressed up. hubby already had the hair and beard for logan aka wolverine so he was set and got ready in two seconds. i hate trying to figure out costumes last minute because it's so hard to put it all together the day of, but after going all over midtown this afternoon, i decided on lady gaga. i actually don't like her songs (and banned her music from our wedding), but she makes a great costume. we headed out to 123 burger shot beer, and our friends jaba the hut and princess lea won 3rd place in the costume contest!
