Three Fall DC Must Dos

Three fun fall activities you cannot miss out on this fall in the DMV

Sep 11, 2016

Fall is a magical time, especially in our nation's capital. The weather is finally cooling off from the terrible August heat, the leaves are changing, and there are plenty of things that you can only do this time of year. So here are three things to check out this Fall in DC.

1. Apple Picking

There is nothing better than a fresh picked apple in the fall. Something about the crisp apple matching the crisp fall air just seems perfect in my mind. And even better is picking your own! Apple picking is a great weekend activity for groups, couples, and families. Plus it's super insta-worthy. Check out these places to pick your own apples.

2. Go to a Fall Festival/Pumpkin Patch

This honestly is my favorite fall tradition. The little kid in me goes wild at the idea of the hay ride, the corn maze, and getting to pick out my own pumpkin from the patch. This is a great date idea, one of my first and favorites with my boyfriend, or a great group activity. Butler's Orchard has a great pumpkin festival that I highly recommend.

3. Take a ghost tour

DC is rich in history, obviously, but there is also a darker side to all the history. If you want to get in the fall/Halloween spirit than a ghost tour is a perfect idea and DC is the perfect place for one. Check out this website for two really great tours in DC and this for an Alexandria tour.

Fall is my favorite time of the year and DC is probably my favorite place to spend fall. Not only is it beautiful this time of year but between the entire DMV area there are so many opportunities for fall fun. These three are my fall must dos, what are yours?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
