weekend in the leaves

every october, netter and i take a weekend to commune with the fall foliage.  again this year october's second weekend was chosen to travel northward to find colorful leaves.  apparently autumn decided to take her sweet time because the trees that were alive with the majestic colors last year were still pretty green and shady. 

this lack of colorful leaf peeping didn't stop us.  we jumped into our rented Kia and traveled to vermont to try and find the foliage.  we were successful and had additional hours to rock out in our car to many fantastic tunes.  it's what i like to call an added bonus...

the next day we went to lyman orchards to go apple picking and possibily find a pumpkin to add to our apartment halloween decor.  the day was stunningly beautiful with not a cloud in the sky and lots of people wandering the orchards looking for their favorite apple variety. 

netter and i got a little silly in the pumpkin patch with my camera.  we often have the best times being total and complete goofballs while snapping photos.  it was such a great time! 

we ventured to a new locale in connecticut after our target shopping was complete.  in hubble park they have a stone structure called Castle Craig.  it was pretty cool to go up there and see the valley below...if only the trees were more colorful and less green.
