Best Fall Getaways – 2015
Generally I don’t like to travel during the Summer months as there are so many things to attend or participate in during that time.. Grandchildren’s sports events, BBQ’s with family and friends, weddings, graduations…. you know, you’ve been there I’m sure.
My dad and step-mom visit during the Summer months and as they are getting up in age the time spent with them is more precious than ever. With their visits usually comes more family get-togethers with out of town siblings visiting as well. It’s just one party after another…
Fall however is a different story. Kids are back in school, grown-ups get back to work, and we all fall back into a routine. It’s also a great time to visit a few popular summer destinations, since their prices, crowds and temperatures have dropped.
I recently came across an article in the U.S.News where with the help of travel experts and reader votes, U.S. News pulled together a list of ideal travel spots for Fall. Perfect for enjoying foliage, autumn activities and affordable hotel rates. (I’ve been to Savannah and that definitely would be one on the top of my list)
After looking at the list, I better get “booking“….. and I mean air tickets and hotel reservations… unlike the definition in the Urban Dictionary.

Living in the Midwest my entire life, specifically Wisconsin, I’d have to say Wisconsin in and of itself is a beautiful state in the Fall with the leaves changing colors creating a vivid landscape.
Of the eleven scenic drives highlighted in the article below I can say I’ve done the Marinette Country Waterfalls Tour and it is magnificent. Dress in layers and be prepared to hike over some rough terrain if you want to see them all. Good hiking shoes and bug repellent are a plus.
Kettle Moraine, Black River Falls Forest and Lake Geneva are all favorites of mine too. The rest are on the bucket list
