Fall is my favorite season - the weather is perfect, nothing is (for the most part) too busy yet, and the scenery is incredible. It's not too cold or hot to be stuck inside- so get out and take advantage of it! It's perfect for continuing traditions or even starting new ones. The holidays are approaching faster than you think, and spending time with family and friends is a must. Here are some ideas on what to do during the fall:
1. Pick apples at Johnson's Farm or Solebury Orchards
2. Go on a hike in Manayunk at the Towpath park or the Peace Valley Nature Center in Doylestown
3. Go for a picnic in a nearby park
4. Walk around Olde City (and snap a couple pictures)
5. Pick pumpkins at Heritage Vineyards
6. Go on a hayride at Highland Orchards or Indian Acres
7. House a bonfire with hot dogs, s'mores, hot chocolate, and warm apple cider.
8. Go thrift shopping for big sweaters and cool knick knacks at Good Will in Reading or the Habitat for Humanity Restore in Monmouth County
9. Go to a corn maze at Howell Farm or even a nighttime flashlight maze at Springdale Farms
10. Watch classic Halloween movies like Hocus Pocus or Disney Channel's Halloweentown
11. Make fall treats like caramel apples, pumpkin bars, or mini s'mores boats
12. Walk around your own neighborhood and look for bright colors and fun fall plants or trees- beauty is never far
13. Paint, photograph, or draw a landscape of the fall leaves and trees
14. Visit a haunted house or haunted hayride at Eastern State Penitentiary or Creamy Acres
15. Go to Longwood Gardens and embrace the plants in season
16. Watch scary movies like Ouija or Insidious 1, 2, and 3
17. Carve jack-o-lanterns
18. Practice recipes for the holiday season like Christmas cookies or Thanksgiving pies
19. Go to a high school or college football game
20. Shop new fall fashions at places like Charlotte Russe, American Eagle, or Nike
21. Go to an outdoor concert- it's always better and much more enjoyable when you're not sweating out every ounce of water left in your body
22. Get work done and get ahead- not everything in school (or work occasionally) is in full swing yet, so get moving! You'll thank yourself later!
23. Decorate your house with fall decorations and fall fragrances
And of course, 24. Go trick-or-treating!
