Ah, the long-awaited season of the year is finally creeping up on us.
The one filled with lots of cozy, overly sized sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes filled to the brim, and beautiful scenery that is just waiting for you to photograph. It’s about time we kiss those sweaty walks to class, frizzy hair, and uncomfortably tight clothing goodbye! While some of you may be experiencing post-summer blues from hitting the books hard, fall is more than just back to school season. It is an opportunity for a fresh start. A new school year to make good (and a few bad) memories.
As for me, fall is my favorite season, especially to make new memories with my boyfriend. Something about the slightly chilly weather, fall traditions, and colorful leaves make me want to participate in fall festivities with my special someone by my side. Why not enjoy this beautiful season with the one you have completely fallen for? All you have to do is manage to convince him/her to complete this list of eleven fall-friendly dates!
- Go to the nearest apple orchard/pumpkin patch
- Have a pumpkin carving contest
- Have a cheesy Halloween movie marathon (Halloweentown anyone?)
- Do a coffee shop taste testing date and decide which one takes the cake
- Find the nearest state fair/fall fest and spend the night riding old carnival rides
- Go on a hayride or try navigating a corn maze
- Attend a football game, manned with a blanket and your choice of coffee
- Have a bonfire filled with lots of s’mores and a few beers (sorry Mom and Dad)
- Go hiking and find the highest point to look down at all the beautiful trees
- Enjoy a day reading with your favorite lattes to warm you up
- Have a picnic in the nearest park and pack a thermos of homemade hot chocolate
