The Blaze
We live close enough to Sleepy Hollow to do a day trip. Or in this case, a night trip. We took the boys to The Great Jack-O-Lantern Blaze: a display that currently features over 7,000 carved pumpkins. It was very cool, even back when we went – when they ‘only’ had 5,000 carved pumpkins…truly amazing!
If you live in the area, just keep in mind that it does get very crowded. They keep it moving and you walk through at your own pace, but there are people everywhere.
What a fun memory!
