The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Happy Halloween my friends! If your love for the holiday is comparable to mine in any way, then I am sure you have heard of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Published in 1820, Washington Irving tells the famous story of Ichabod Crane, a superstitious school teacher who tries to escape the wrath of the Headless Horseman. The story is set in a town called Sleepy Hollow, or what was previously North Tarrytown, New York. The town permanently changed their name to Sleepy Hollow in 1996 to honor the work of Washington Irving, who is buried in the local church cemetery.
We headed over to New York for a weekend of spooky fun. We visited the famed graveyard, saw professionally carved pumpkins, explored an exceptionally frightening haunted trail and even survived a few encounters with the Horseman himself! I took advantage of the warmer weather and wore a corduroy skirt (grab a similar one below for only $11!!) paired with a thin sweater and a vest. It's always nice to not have to wear a jacket at this time of year. In the photos you'll catch glimpses of Washington Irving's grave, the Headless Horseman Bridge plus some beautiful foliage!
I wish you all a fun and safe Halloween! Let me know how you are celebrating in the comments!
