I actually have a tie for my favorite place to go in the fall. The obvious choice is somewhere like New England (or anywhere Not Texas) where the leaves change. I went to Pennsylvania once in the fall and driving through the mountains was amazingly beautiful. But the non-obvious choice is Napa Valley. The Home Warrior and I took a fabulous trip there a few years ago during October and it couldn’t have been better.
So, Readers, where is your favorite place to visit during the fall? Good luck!!
Road Warriorette received a free night stay at Country Inn & Suites.

We love to travel to Florida. Sounds funny but when its cold in MI and we are pouting about it we head to where its warm. No leaf raking, no frost, no worries.
The trip is cheaper being hurricane time, the beaches are quiet and the hotels are not very full. We love it and try to go each time Dd has fall break.

I currently live in Colorado where falls mean nice weather, pretty aspens turning yellow and the occasional snowfall… But having grown up in Ohio I really love going back there. Fall is much prettier in the Midwest / east coast due to the variety of colors and foliage. Also there is a crisp feeling in the air and a lot of fun fall activities that remind me of my childhood (apple picking, pumpkin picking and carving etc.)

You stole my best place. Napa. I love the crush season the whole valley smells of crushed grapes and the wineries are in full swing so that you can see what really goes on. And, the restaurants feature the best of what the valley has to offer. OMG… I’m leaving now!

Ouray CO
Bonnie said,
Asheville, NC. Love that place. The Blue Ridge is so beautiful this time of year. I would go visit the Biltmore House and Gardens, hike, and of course eat at some of the great resturants in the area, then I would drive to Brevard, Land of Waterfalls, because that is my hometown and I have not been back in a while.
