Columbus Day Weekend

This last weekend was so fun! We had dinner with some of Shawn's classmates on Friday night. One of them has a BBQ so we grilled up some steaks and they were amazing! I miss being able to grill in a backyard like back home. Yay for steaks and barbecuing! 

On Saturday we went apple picking just north of Boston with some friends. The colors have been amazing this fall and this was the cutest little farm. Their apple cider donuts were to die for! New England is quite famous for them and I highly recommend them to anyone traveling this way during the fall! We had a blast playing "fruit ball" (baseball with apples and a stick), picking apples, taking in the views, and spending time with good friends.

Earlier in the week Shawn and I had decided it'd been WAY TOO LONG since we'd been camping, so my sweet husband suggested we go over Columbus Day weekend. Gosh I love that man! I was so excited and started looking for campsites or cabins to reserve. Unfortunately, we were a few months behind and everything was booked out or required a minimum of three nights. We couldn't do that long, so we began looking for tent sites that we could do for one or two nights. We found a beautiful campground located inside of Greenfield State Park in New Hampshire. It made for the perfect little getaway and chance to escape the city.

The drive up to New Hampshire was amazing! This is my favorite time of year in New England. The colors are at their peak right now and they were unbelievable! I tried to snap some quick pics as we drove by to capture the colors, but you know how well car pictures turn out. Needless to say, I was very excited to get out of the car and take better pics! Here are just a few.

It was such a fun weekend and I loved every minute! We are so lucky to be living in beautiful New England! I am thankful for my awesome husband and all of the fun adventures we have together!!!
