If I haven't previously mentioned this - I love going for drives...nice long drives, road trips - anything involving a car, me and preferably someone else I can talk to - oh and a good CD mix or book on CD, those are good too! And some great snacks - or at least a Caribou Coffee within stopping distance ;)
Anyway, I decided to combine a few of my favorite things - road trips and Fall into a post about the places in the US that are considered to have the best Fall Foliage. After I got going, I decided that I needed to cut it down into just a post about the Northeastern states today. Though I'm sure I won't find a Caribou Coffee joint out East, I will probably find a ton of Apple Cider, Fresh Maple Syrup, Carmel Apples and other hot awesome Fall drinks!
Maine, Vermont, New York, Connecticut, and New Hampshire
This is Maine. What I love most about the Eastern States (even though I've yet to go) is the coastal views and all the lighthouses! My mom use to have a ton of lighthouses and it was a theme in our house for a long time.
This is in Barton,Vermont. This is exactly the picturesque view I imagine when I think of fall and a driving through the countryside. It reminds me a lot of home because on our farm we have a road that is covered by trees on both sides just like this.
Upstate New York...........doesn't it look just like the Boundary Waters of Minnesota? I have a friend who has a cabin in Upstate New York and that's exactly how she describes it. I'm sure urban New York has some pretty fall colors too, but this takes the cake for me - it's more my style!
Litchfield Hills, Connecticut is famous for its' fall foliage. And I can see why! Connecticut also has the Wine Trail, which comprises 24 different vineyards and wineries within CT. It's so cool that it definitely deserves its' own post. ;)
New Hampshire and their White Mountains! I love Mountains too - pair it with some beautiful autumn colors and the view doesn't get any better!
