Hello Fall

Megan reaching for an apple high in the tree as I look on.

September 22nd, marked the being of the Fall season and with the leaves subtly beginning to change and the crisp air hitting you each morning as you walk outside you know it is officially a new season. I have always been a huge fan of Fall for many reasons. This weekend your favorite bloggers took a trip the beautiful foothills of North Carolina for some Fall fun. After apple picking, hanging out at the lake and enjoying the mountain views, I began to wonder how best to celebrate the Fall season in the DMV. So I did some research and decided to share.

For those of you that enjoy being outside and picking fruits and vegetables would like the pick your own farms in both Maryland and Virginia. You can come to some of these great orchards in the suburbs of DC and pick your own apples, pumpkins, berries, peaches, vegetables and more. Another cool note about these farms is that most of them host special events and hayrides. A good one to check out is Becrafts farm on New Hampshire Avenue in Silver Spring.

The Fall is also a great time for various events throughout the DMV area. For one of the largest wine and entertainment events in region join the fun of Taste of DC. Held on Pennsylvania Avenue from October 8th-10th. There will be great DC restaurants, food trucks and musical performances. This is a great community event and a portion of the proceeds from the Taste of DC will be donated to the DC Central Kitchen, the American Red Cross and our friends at Bread for the City.  Look for your favorite bloggers to be in attendance to this event as well.

These are just a couple of the Fall events coming up in the area, but we will be keeping you updated on where we are this Fall and anyone who knows of an event we should check out feel free to share. Enjoy the season and check out the video below as Megan immerses herself into North Carolina culture.
