The best season of the year is here: Fall. Whenever you start to see the leaves change colors and feel the weather cool down, you can't help but feel a little giddy and want to explore. Just because summer is over doesn't mean the fun trips on the road have to stop. There are numerous fun activities you can do this autumn with your loved ones. All you need to do is hop in your vehicle and make it happen. Here is our list of fun activity ideas that you can do this fall!

 

Go To a Sunflower Farm

In case you didn't know, sunflowers are in full bloom during the autumn. Take advantage of this opportunity and take your friends or family to the closest sunflower farm. The sight of sunflower fields stretching for miles is a beautiful sight to see and will definitely make some Instagram-worthy pictures.

 

Go to a Pumpkin Farm (& Carve a Pumpkin)

In addition to sunflowers, you can also take your kids to a nearby pumpkin farm. If this activity doesn't make you autumnal, we don't know what will. The best part is that you can bring home some pumpkins to carve and decorate your home with.

 

Bake a Delicious Treat

The most delicious foods and pastries are made in the fall season. A fun idea would be to take a trip to your local farmer's market to get the freshest ingredients to bake the most delicious treats. Get assorted fruits to make jams, pies, cookies, etc. 

 

Go Camping

Camping is more affordable and less crowded during this time of year since peak season is over. You don't have to worry about reserving campgrounds and can make it a spontaneous family trip. Pack up the sleeping bags, tents, and smores to make the start of fall a memorable one. 

 

Go on a Hike

There's nothing better than seeing scenic views on a crisp, clear day in the fall. You can hit the trails of the nearest state park or go far and wide to see a new landscape. The transition from summer to fall is also the best time of the year to go hiking to avoid the crowds and the bugs.

 

Regardless of where you take your loved ones this fall, please consider their safety first. With the seasonal changes, you should ensure that your vehicle is fit to take on the chillier temperatures. Feel free to bring your vehicle to Dave's Automotive for a seasonal check-up!
