Travels East

Jim and I are on our easterly trip. We left early Thursday morning and took all day getting to Newark, New Jersey. We had a layover in Chicago and our flight got delayed due to winds in Newark. Once we finally were in flight we circled around a lot before being allowed to land. Then once we landed we sat on the tarmac for a while waiting for someone to let us into the gate. Then the shuttle to the rental car place seemed to go in circles just getting there. So were pretty dizzy and tired by the time we got to our hotel. But at least the hotel was pretty good.

Then we headed north this morning for New Milford, Connecticut. We specifically took a route that led us through the infamous town of Sleepy Hollow. I just have a fondness for Sleepy Hollow because my second grade class performed The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and I had a line! We didn't know what we would see but just wanted to check it out. You can see the welcoming sign below and all the street signs are orange with black lettering and a silhouette of the Headless Horseman.
And in our driving around we found this sign for Ichabod's Landing. So it was just kind of fun to see it.
This isn't the greatest picture, but you can see some of the fall colors going on. The next couple days should give us great opportunity to see much more and get great pictures.
It's so nice that Connecticut welcomes me. I feel so loved already. Thank you, Connecticut!
We're staying the next five nights with Jim's cousin to do lots of sight seeing and adventure having.
