Fun in Fall

I love the excitement that fall weather brings. It is time to trade the summer clothes and sandals for sweaters and jeans, preparing for Halloween, Thanksgiving, bonfires with friends (and hunting season!). The green leaves on the trees turn to gorgeous shades of reds and yellows.

After searching for a great day trip, my kids and I decided on Skyline drive, about an hour away from where we live. We packed up the car, grabbed a few snacks for the trip and headed out. Once we made it to the Shenandoah National Park, we were in awe. We drove slowly through the windy road and stopped at just about every vantage point we could.

We stopped and parked in one of the lots and took a nature walk to get an up close view of the colors. We played in the leaves and laughed. The kids ran around the trees and studies the various leaves and colors they had.


After a long day of enjoying the sights, we were rewarded with a phenomenal sunset. It was just another one of nature's spectacular portraits of color and texture.

Where are you enjoying the outdoors this fall?
