We are finally approaching the fall season, and with that comes so many opportunities to make memories, whether that be with friends or family. Personally, I have tons of things I want to do this season, so I thought I would share some ideas with you. Here are the top 5 places you need to visit this fall.
1. Visit a Pumpkin Patch
This is definitely one of the top things you should have on your list this fall, because nothing screams fall like pumpkins! Whether its for carving jack-o-lanterns, for cooking, or simply just for decorating, having some pumpkins in your presence is a definite must! While you're at it, maybe even take a hay ride through the fields, a memory you won't forget.
2. Visit the Mountains
This is one of my personal favorites. The mountains are such a beautiful place to visit during the cooler months of fall, because you can enjoy a hike or a picnic without getting too hot and sweaty, while also getting to take in all the changing colors of the leaves. The view from the top will certainly be breathtaking. Some other great ideas for mountain trips are riding horseback through the mountain trail, or renting a cabin for a few nights with friends or family.
3. Visit the City
When you are done visiting the rural area of the mountains, be sure to visit the nearest cities to you. I absolutely love taking strolls through downtown, checking out all the local shops, and bringing home some fall goods. When the holidays start getting closer, this is a definite must because of all the decorations you will see among the store fronts and walkways.
4. Visit your Local Book Store
There's nothing like cuddling up and reading some good books when it's too cold to do anything outside. Visit your local book stores, grab a cup of coffee, and get lost in another world for a few hours. Pick up something with a darker tone, like fantasy or mystery, rather than the cute love stories you were reading back in the summer. Or, pick up a series with several books, so you are sure to be occupied for the whole season.
5. Visit a Haunted Attraction
When you get tired of binge watching all of those scary movies at home, get out and find something even more scary to do. Visit a haunted trail, or theme park that has turned scary for the month of October. While this isn't my cup of tea, it's surely a top idea for the fall season.
With fall right around the corner, you should already be making plans for what you are going to do to enjoy it. There may be other things not mentioned on this list that are equally as fun! Make sure to get out of the house this fall and make some memories with the ones you love!
