Sleepy Hollow

We went on a little road trip to Sleepy Hollow, NY. It was absolutely beautiful, and made me miss mountains, trees, open spaces, and normal neighborhoods. Washington Irving wrote "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" after spending some time here in his youth. He is buried in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, next to the Old Dutch Church.



It was a charming little town, and it was so nice to get away from the big city for a few hours.

Looks like a beautiful place! However I think I will wait to visit in the summer or fall. Maybe this year . . .

I want to live there, even though the Headless Horseman scares me even now.

It looks exactly like I expected it to look. I would go in the summer or fall with you Heidi.

Neato. Was it spooky at all? I've found a lot of places beyond the Mississippi have an eerie vibe to them. Or maybe I did. Anyway, I was actually wondering if it would be okay for me to ask Joseph a couple of questions regarding dental school, since that it currently the direction I'm headed.
