Stamford CT - Thanksgiving 2010 or was it Lizzy's birthday party???????

Lizzy kept letting us know that we were celebrating her birthday on Thursday - it must have been a mistake that they scheduled Thanksgiving on the same day.  Somehow, we got both in - and a few other activities. 
Finally, a cool day and non-stop rain.
Another festive Thanksgiving with the DeMarkey's and friends.

Anna, Abby and Lizzy do NYC

The mission - find a boy band guy and get his picture.  Mission not accomplished but we saw many potential "could have been but probably not".
The additional missions of a show, Statue of  Liberty, M&M and Hershey stores, Rockefeller Center and other places to spend money were all accomplished.
And we found plenty else to do and made an 11 hour adventure of it all.  Everyone found something to enjoy and call it a great day!

Anna does Sleepy Hollow and the Castles of Westchester County NY

An adventure day.
We wandered off to check out Sleepy Hollow and the surrounds of Washington Irving.  It happens to be nestled around the historic castles of Westchester County - Rockefellers and others from that time all built along the hills of the Hudson River.
Unfortunately being late November they are only open for tour on the weekend.  That didn't stop us from wandering up the drives to see what we could see. 
We also took in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.  As Anna reported, there was a time that we thought we may be lost, and possibly stuck, surrounded by the hills and graves.  Tight gravel roads with sharp u-turns - good thing we took the small car or we may still be there.  

Stamford CT - The Fish Church

Every town has to have its claim to fame.  In Stamford CT, the Fish Church is one of their items.  Built to resemble a fish it settles in nicely to a curve in one of the major roads through town. 
Another glorious day and the walk from the train station back was another shirt sleeve event - hard to believe in November.
