Fall is such a fun season! Especially when the weather has been so warm here in the Northeast! The kids are finally back to school and its not so terribly hot! Where I live here on Long Island, fall is such a great time for outdoor activities without the oppressive heat.

I also think fall is a great time for travel (in fact, in the travel industry it’s called the shoulder season – that transitional time between summer travel and winter getaways). In my experience you can get some great deals on trips, and everyone knows this is one of the best times to visit theme parks.

I actually do enjoy this time of year, up until January when well, winter. But I do love the fall holidays – Halloween and Thanksgiving, and the coziness of fall food – think squash, apples, and of course pumpkin everything!

So today I am rounding up my best of fall – from  my favorite activities, products, travel and links to some great fall posts that will hopefully inspire your best fall season!

Fall is a great time to go leaf-spotting, or to take advantage of smaller crowds at beaches! Many areas of the US still have summer-like weather into the fall season!

Fall is a great season for theme parks – the heat and crowds are at bay, and many decorate and do it up for the Halloween season! Even our local amusement park, Adventureland is a great place to head in October for pumpkin park!

    Lots of great idea for fall here! I’m in Sydney so we’re about to coming up to summer but I’m bookmarking this for next autumn/fall.

  3. Great round-up! I love travelling in fall too, it’s still warm (ish) but much less crowded and the colours are just beautiful! I might have to try your Sangria recipe this weekend too…

  4. This is a great post. Everything Fall’s ideas. I always wanted to go apple picking with my son but I think there’s only one apple farm about 1-1/2 hours from where we live. And normally the apples out during weekdays by the school field trips. 🙁

  5. I would generally agree with you, normally fall or Autumn as we call it in the UK 😀 is a great time of year. Like you said the heat is of summer is gone but you can still do all the outdoor activities you want – However that being said, in England as we don’t really have a real summer, Autumn is just a warning that winter in knocking on the door (It already feels like winter this year) But when I’m traveling I love fall in other countries haha
