Midwest in Fall

Although the end of summer is upon us, Fall is my favorite time of the year in the Midwest. I love all of the fall colors of gold, orange and red everywhere you look. The fall season is a great time to start to slow down and enjoy life in a less busy time of year. There are Fall festivals everywhere you look and color drives thought all of the Midwestern states. Some other Midwest family vacation ideas are:

  • Bike riding many of the trails through the Midwest
  • Music festivals outdoors

  • Enjoying the Christmas season by taking trips to shop in the cities
  • Ice Skating
  • Hockey games
  • Snowmobiling
