🍁 NOT SURE WHAT TO DO? KEEP IT EASY

Not every great fall weekend needs a ticket or a schedule. If your plans fall through, or you just want a slow one, here are a few simple ideas:

Pick up apples, cider and a pumpkin or two from a local farm stand.

Take a walk through a nearby park or trail while the leaves are changing.

Grab a coffee and wander a historic downtown like Haddonfield.

Make a big pot of soup or chili and call it a night.

Fall goes fast, so get outside for at least a little of it.
