Fall in Central Virginia

September 30, 2015

As much as I hated seeing summer go I really do love Fall. It’s my favorite time of the year. I love watching the leaves turn. I love the cool air. I love wearing boots and cozy scarves. I love all things pumpkin. I love that it brings the holiday season. I love the smell of fall in the air.

I am going to share with you some of our favorite fall activities that happen in our area.

Apple Picking – We love to go apple picking at Carter Mountain. The wilds have so fun much shimmying up the trees to get the best apples. The bakery makes these amazing apple cider donuts. The views are unbelievable. This has definitely become one of our fall traditions.

Pumpkin Patch –  Our favorite pumpkin patch is at the Ashland Berry Farm. You take a hay ride out to the patch to pick your pumpkins. We really enjoy meandering around the patch looking for the best ones. They have a special all you can carry for $20. It is really fun to watch people load up and then take their steps.

Fall Festival – We really enjoy the Chesterfield Berry Farm. They offer all kinds of activities at their festival. There is a hay house with a slide, pig races, corn maze, and much much more. It is fun for the whole family.

What are some of your favorite fall activities?

    Love these pictures of your kiddos :) Are they from last year? They look so grown up! I’m definitely looking forward to picking out pumpkins with Jared and carving them together.

      The apple one is from a couple weeks ago. The other one is from last year. I can’t wait to get new ones this year!

    I love the small things like getting cozy with a blanket and a cup of hot tea or the light rain when we’re home and the cool breeze in the morning. It’s a great season! :)

    Wow, that pick from Carter Mountain is beautiful! We’re barely changing in Hampton Roads yet. Love that the family is sporting their OSU gear, too. My husband’s an alum.
