Day Three - Woodland Creatures of the Night

Ward Acres is the place to be. Sixty-three acres of woodland bliss put us in the mood for exploring nature. Lisa and I had a lovely walk right here in New Rochelle. It was serene and the company was great. We were taking pictures and a large golden retriever came across our path to check out our scent. I guess we were approved.
Lisa and I came across this really creepy old house in the middle of the forest. Lisa suggested that they film a horror movie there and I got the creeps. But I video taped it anyway! Here's a short clip.

Later on Allie told us that's where they put on the Halloween haunted house every year. Duh.

Here are some more Ward Acre discoveries:

Here's a pic we tried to take of ourselves by ourselves; this is to ensure any blog readers that Lisa & I did not take two separate hikes.


Earlier that day, we had to drive to our destination in order to hike (oh, the irony) so Lisa did the driving since I am still a permit holder at the time of this blogging.


We stopped for gas - and being a Jersey Girl in New York, Lisa had to get out of the car and - gulp - manually pump that gas!


Later on in the evening we went out to The Plumm, which is the old classier Nell's, once owned by Nell of Rocky Horror Picture Show fame. But now it's your run-of-the-mill New York I Love the Nightlife club where the bouncers make everyone wait in line to make it look like a place that's worth getting into. Then they sell you $300 bottles of middle-shelf alcohol that you could have purchased at the liquor store down the street for $250 cheaper so you can be served by a girl with platnum blond extensions.

Nell was classier. Just look at her!

But the real reason why we went to The Plumm was because Rit and Jon were promoting their website, TheCheapPop.com, which is an awesome website of pop culture and mustache musings (you must experience the site to feel the action!). The Cheap Pop is sort of like a cross between TMZ, Spiderman doing an HBO comedy special, and Burt Reynolds.

I feel that the evening can be summed up in a few personal pictures.
