Picnic in the Park

Makeover your ladies’ brunch in favor of a more outdoorsy experience. The best part about the fall is being surrounded by all the lovely foliage. Catch up on each other’s live over sandwiches and cider on a flannel blanket beneath the trees.

Take a Trip to the Outlet Mall

Everyone has a great outlet mall within driving distance. Call up the girls and car pool on down to the one closest to your town. Fall is a great time to find outlet sales on summer items for your off-season tropical vacation, or that great pair of boots for winter.
