Let’s reconnect! Fall is filled with opportunities to get closer, laugh, explore, be playful, and learn more about each other.
Here are ideas for Fall FUN!
1.Take a color drive! Go outside of town and just drive. Gaze at the colors and explore.
2.Have a romantic picnic in the refreshing cooler air. Take your time, share stories, discuss hope and dreams and just relax.
3.Go to the pumpkin patch. Enjoy walking through the patch, looking for your style pumpkin -maybe a classic shape, a non-orange color anomaly, or a goofy shape. Maybe you want some pumpkins for decoration and one to carve.
4.Carve that pumpkin! Those kits in the grocery store with the safety knives really work and there are a lot of fun templates to try. Want to do a pumpkin duo? Look up great designs online. You can even make it a competition!
5.Apple picking. Find an orchard near you and experiment with different apples. Sample some varieties, then wander through the trees picking your favorite flavor. If they have cider and donuts, you have to enjoy some of those!
6.Go on a fall weekend getaway. Find a B&B or an inn to escape to for a romantic weekend. Fall is one of the most beloved times to run away with your S.O. so schedule in advance. No time? That is ok, keep calling for cancelations or seek a VRBO or Airbnb instead.
7.Get your cheer on at a football game! There is nothing like a football game and all the fun before and after. Don’t forget about those small-town high school games, they light up the whole town and it will bring back memories.

9.Frightful movie night! Have a favorite movie or Halloween movie tradition? Stay in, make your favorite treat and cuddle up. You have to sit close so you can protect each other right?
