Holiday Weekend

I hope you had a wonderful long weekend. If you didn't have Monday off, I hope you enjoyed light traffic on your way to work! While most people in New England were heading North or West to enjoy the colorful foliage, we decided to head South East to the Roger Williams Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island.

 Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular at Roger Williams Park Zoo until November 3.

The park/zoo website states over 5000 pumpkins but when you get there they have over 10,000! 'This year’s Spectacular, titled “All the World’s a Stage,” features scenes from iconic and popular movies, Broadway hits and television series. Another section pays homage to man’s best friend with an array of carved pumpkins conveying the amazing variety of dog species. In addition, the night wouldn’t be complete without the annual Halloween scene and the kids section filled with childhood favorites. The climax is an incredible Laughing Tree display comprised of hundreds of pumpkins of every size and the distinctive “laughing” music.'

 This was a truly fantastic experience that my entire family enjoyed.
