Not only is Thanksgiving known for the big parades, but also for the nationally watched and anticipated football games. For many Americans, football is synonymous with turkey day and the the games this year are ones you do not want to miss. Teams playing this year include; the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Indianapolis Colts.
6. Fall adventures
Seize this beautiful time of year while you can. There are many activities that are perfect for the crisp fall weather. Grab a morning cup of coffee/hot chocolate and get cozy next to a fire. Get a group of friends together and enter a corn maze, jump on a spooky hay ride, or enter a haunted house if you dare. You can get really adventurous by going on a hike in the woods while enjoying the beauty of the colorful fall woods. Maybe you can even stay the night and camp out then start a bonfire and roast those tasty marshmallows. There really are endless opportunities when it comes to fall fun.
