8 Places You Need to Visit this Fall | Small Town Bucket List

18 October 2017

HEYO.  You guys might be getting kinda annoyed by all my fall posts (is that humanly possible even), but hey, WHAT CAN I SAY.   After all, like, *cough*....autumn is in the air.  How can I not talk about fall incessantly? PLUS the last few days have felt so much like autumn and the #aesthetic is real.  It's amazing.

So today I thought I'd round up a few places I want to try to visit this fall.  Some of them I do every fall, and it's almost like my tradition, and the others are some things I'd really like to try.  And JUST maybe, this list will give you some inspiration to get out there and enjoy this amazing fall weather (if it's fall where you're at lolol).  SO.  Let's get into this!
+ A corn maze.  I never knew that these existed near me until this year, when one of my friends suggested we should go there.   And now I really want to go there xD This was literally my reaction when she told me about it:


+ A hiking trail.  There's so much beauty in nature right now, with the trees changing color and all, and the best way to take that all in is to actually GET OUT THERE and see it all.  I had been planning on going hiking next week, but that plan fell through (>_<), so I guess I'll have to wait and see.  But I still really want to go do it, because HOW PERFECT WOULD THAT BE.  Also, imagine the amazing scenery and the photos you could take.  10/10.  AND one thing I've always thought is if and when I buy a drone, (if you have a drone can i pls borrow it for a year thx) the visuals you could get with that would be stunning.

+ An orchard.  YO.  My dad was taking me to the rink last week, and we took a detour, and there is literally this orchard five minutes away from our HOUSE.  What?!? All I saw was the sign, but I really want to check it out and see if it's real.  How flippin' awesome would that be? Haha, but I totally recommend going out and picking some apples or pears.  It's good for your health and it's a fun way to get outside :D

+ A pumpkin patch.  Yep, this one definitely goes along with the orchard one, but it's still different.  (As in, one is made up of upright trees and the other of sprawling prickly green stems and orange spheres) There's a patch right across a grocery store in our town, and the store always sells so many different kinds of pumpkins.  It's amazing.

+ Starbucks (or any other coffee shop).  And I say this, because, this is one of my 'traditions'.  Like I said in my last post, I don't really go to Starbucks a lot because the nearest one is so far away from me.  So I make it a point every October/November to go there and spend a whole afternoon there xD But not just for the coffee....

+ A bookstore.  The Starbucks I go to is inside a Barnes & Nobles, so yeah, it's flawless.  But the whole vibe of fall goes with warm drinks and books, right? YEP.  Alternatively, make your own coffee and hit up the library!

+ A fall festival.  I've never actually been to this one yet, but I've seen signs around, and I think, basically, it's just pretty much everything I already mentioned in one? xD I'm not sure, but it sounds amazing and I'd love to go to one sometime.

+ A state park.  Obviously because it will be beautiful, but here's an idea.  Grab a bunch of your friends (or one...or yourself!!), get a flannel blanket, make some cute food, get a string of lights and/or a candle, and go make yourself a good ol' fall picnic or something.  Make a bonfire.  Roast marshmallows.  I did this the other evening with some friends (complete with fairy lights and harvest signs), and it's a m a z  i n g.  10/10 would RECOMMEND.

ALL RIGHT, guys.  That's it for today's post :) MORE AUTUMN INSPIRATION COMING YOUR WAY.  What are some things you'd recommend doing in the fall that don't require traveling halfway across the continent? :D Fall is so beautiful I honestly can't even begin ♥ *all the heart eyes* Small town or city? And what fall events do you usually celebrate with?

  4. So far I've been to a state park and also had several hikes (very pretty!). Also got to do a chili-cook-off and had s'mores over a fire with friends. I'd definitely say the s'mores and the hike are a must!

  5. These are the most perfect places to visit. I've been to a corn maze and hiking along with a state park, but I'm sorely disappointed I haven't made it to an orchard yet. Starbucks shouldn't be a hard one to accomplish though!

  8. Washington state isn't known for its amazing fall colors (*ahem* evergreen *ahem*), but I went up to Seattle the other day and was delighted by the colors we do have. We took some back roads past nurseries and pumpkin patches, and it was rainy but so absolutely beautiful. I wanted to live there forever.

    But yes, pumpkin patches, orchards, and bonfires, yes, yes, yes!

  10. Starbucks inside a bookstore = perfect life. I love, love the fall and anything autumn-related (accidental pun?), so this list made me quite happy. :) The orchard trip sounds fun! I've been cherry picking which was all kinds of berry-stained enjoyment, but visiting an orchard sounds so relaxing.
