Fall starts this week and like most people, myself included, you're ready for cooler weather, pumpkin flavored everything, breaking out your fall sweaters and many other things included. One of my favorite things about fall is all the fun date opportunities. Or if you're ridin' solo, things you can do with your friends.

1. Go apple or berry picking and make an awesome dessert with the fruit later!

Check out http://www.pickyourown.org/OHcinc.htm for places to pick your fruit this fall! When you're done picking your apple or berries and turn them into a delicious dessert.

2. Head to a pumpkin patch and decorate your pumpkin after.

http://www.pumpkinpatchesandmore.org/OHpcinc.php has lists of a bunch of pumpkin patches all over Ohio. Instead of doing the traditional pumpkin carvings, try painting your pumpkin so it lasts longer.

3. Haunted Houses

Haunted Houses are a great idea for people who love to get their heart racing and love a thrill. Places like Dent School House, and Middletowns haunted scream park, Land of Illusions are always good options.

4. Football games

Football games are a personal favorite. I always have a blast going and cheering on your favorite team. Whether it be the Cincinnati Bengals or the Cincinnati Bearcats, football games are always a good option.

5. Go to a fall festival

Check out https://365cincinnati.com/guides/fall-halloween-th... for this years fall activities. Fall festivals are some of my favorite things to do, the apple butter festival is always a good one.

Fall is the perfect time of year to get outside and enjoy the flavors of autumn. There's plenty of activities outside or indoors for you and your significant other (or best friend) to do. While summer will be missed, its time for pumpkin flavored everything.
