If you have never been to Massachusetts during the fall, you have been missing out on one of the most visually appealing sights of your life, I promise!

I, myself, have been lucky enough to grow up in the beautiful state of Massachusetts where, starting late September, the leaves start to take off their summer clothes and throw on the brightest shades of color they can muster up. Amazing oranges, yellows, and reds fill the sky like the most beautiful mosaic you’ve ever seen. If you ever have the chance to take a road trip down any major highway, you will see miles and miles of these beautiful color arrangements sitting tall and proud on 100 year oak trees.

To add to the beauty of the foliage, fall is the prime season for many to pick their own goods. Apples, Pears, and cute little pumpkins are usually the popular orchards and patches you see pop up during this season. I make it a tradition to go every year and take the most basic selfie picking an apple from a tree. But that’s not it! We also have magical and competitive things going on around the two major fall holidays, Halloween and Thanksgiving.

Checking out Salam, MA. during the entire month of October is a must at least once in your life. With the history of the witch trials and the original house seen in Hocus Pocus (such a classic), the atmosphere really hypes you up to get more excited for Halloween! Not to overlook the rivalry football games that ring in the early morning of Thanksgiving all over the state, which lead to either a quite bitter or very excited feast, depending on the outcome of the game.

Boston’s historical cobblestone streets are piled with mountains of colorful leaves and visiting the King Richard’s Fair is a must for the good beer and turkey legs the size of your head.

This state is always beautiful in my eyes, but I have a little extra appreciation for the beauty and adventure it brings in the fall! Defiantly a must for everyone to check out at least once in your life!
