Happy Fall Y'all




Fall is here and I must confess, I adore it!!! It's truly "Redhead" season!!! We were born for these colors!

 I've been slacking on my blog posts lately and I apologize. I'm not making excuses (that's my story anyway, lol!) but we have been super busy with our Halloween and Fall pursuits lately & I just haven't gotten to the blog... So, I'm sorry, and without further adieu our latest adventures!!



We started our Halloween celebration with our annual trip to Mickeys Not so Scary!!

 
Our decorated suite at Port Orleans

(ok, my honey & I might have cut out sometime alone on our weekend getaway for the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot) but the rest of the getaway was all Trick or Treating, Fireworks, parades, and of course no Halloween kickoff is complete without .. Universals HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS!! It was awesome especially the Michael Myers "Halloween" house!!

A few days later we hopped a flight to LA to continue the party west coast style!!
Shopping natch!!

Our view of Hollywood from Hilton Universal.

We checked in after lunching & shopping in Burbank. Took a little rest, and took on 
Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood!! It was AMAZING!!! Next we were headed to the Madonna Inn (WOW!!) but first a Beverly Hills Sprinkles stop!!


Then we headed to Little Tokyo for beauty shopping!!! (heaven!! Pure bliss!) 





so then we finally headed up the coast to San Luis Obispo, but on the way we just had to have dinner at a true Ca landmark Pea Soup Andersens

Such yummy fun!!

So when we finally got to Madonna Inn we were very very happy to check into the "old mill room" (think its a small world complete with water wheel) it was magical!!


For any of my "pink" friends OMG!! This place is bathed in pink!!! And the pink champagne cake was DIVINE!!






See told ya!! Pink heaven!! :0)

Then finally onto Disneyland!! We checked into Disneys Grand Californian and took on Disneyland and California Adventure... We had a blast!! 

Mickeys Halloween Party with a West coast swing!!
Which witch is witch?


Doing what we do best... Just being  "Goofy" Hope you're having a Happy Fall Too Y'all!! TTYL ❤️

An Extravaganza Adventure!!

The first destination on our Halloween Extravaganza Adventure was Sleepy Hollow/ Tarrytown New York where we happily made The Castle Hotel & Spa our home away from home❤️
Exterior Opulence

Interior Opulence as well!!

Of course a girl always needs proper accessories.. Bow wool gloves, Chanel Sunnies, & Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte for good measure!! LOL!

Frolicking on the grounds of our Castle in the lovely foliage


Next stop a Tarrytown Holiday Parade

Snacks for the show!

A Vaca to Sleepy Hollow is not complete without a visit to "Blaze" a spectacular display of Jack- O-Lantern ( works of art!!)

Yes, this clock really worked!!

Welcome!! But look out for...

THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN!!!!!
After running into you know who, we
decided to retrace his famous course
It was really beautiful albeit a bit eerie as the sun began to set!

Look familiar? If you are a Dark Shadows fan it should, Lyndhurst Estate was the setting for the infamous Barnabus..
And speaking of Barnabus,here we stumbled upon his Crypt!

What Sleepy Hollow retreat would be complete without a lantern lit cemetery walk at midnight of course!!!

Next stop on our trek was a quick visit to our hometown where we visited Roba's Pumpkin Patch


Picked pumpkins right off the vine!

Played in the Hay
And enjoyed just being with each other

Had to make a hasty pickup of my absolute fav pizza in the world!! Brownies Famous Pizzeria❤️


Our next home away from home was the Historic Peabody House in Salem,Ma

We boarded our Haunted Harbor Cruise & had a visit with a real witch!!

Connor seemed to have found a few .. Ahem... Friends ONBOARD!!l lol!!
After his creepy encounter he thought it best to stay inside the ship & have his face painted as a dragon in hopes to scare away any further Fiends, um, I mean friends!! Lol!!!

Poor Brittany, blissfully unaware of her creepy visitors quickly approaching from behind!!

Here we have "Witches" being accused on the streets of Salem in a historical reenactment

We then got the opportunity to serve on the jury of poor, innocent, Bridgett Bishop ,whom we acquitted, but was not that fortunate during the real trials and was the first of the accused witches to be executed during the hysteria

Who better to run into on Halloween than Salem's own Master of Ceremonies... The Warlock of Salem, Christian Day

Connor ready to Trick or Treat!!

Brittany ready to hit the streets of Salem for goodies as well!!

Our last stop was Amish Country Lancaster, Pa where we visited Hershey Park

Stayed at the Red Caboose Motel

Yes, we slept in an authentic historical train car!!


Enjoyed the magnificent views from high atop a farm silo ( it was hard not to photograph all the Amish we encountered, but we behaved and respected their religious views on not being photographed. But it was fun eating dinner with them!! )


Final celebration of Halloween, Trick or treating at Dutch Wonderland and riding all the unique rides!! We had a stupendous October & hope you did as well!! TTYL❤️
