Try Virginia For A Fall Trip
When fall hits, bringing in cooler air and enough pumpkin-flavored foods to make you feel like you like in a pumpkin patch, many people are hit with a need to travel. Travel can be challenging, though, since gas mileage is better in the summer and the cooler weather makes people want to stay indoors.
There’s one place that should call to anyone who wants to travel, though!
From deep rich history to modern fun and excitement with incredible food peppered throughout, Virginia has something for everyone. This state is the go-to location for anyone trying to plan an autumn road trip.
Here are some of the top things to do when you arrive!
Historical Sights
From spooky ghost walks to incredible tours of late presidents’ estates, you’ll get your fill of history in Virginia. Although our country is young, and the history of settlers only goes back four hundred years, there’s a lot packed into every one of those years. Drive between trees whose leaves turn spectacular colors, and get a more in-depth view of our nation’s birth.
Some of the top history exhibits are:
George Washington’s Mount Vernon, where you can learn in-depth about the first president and what life was like for him and the people who worked his lands, is a top place to go. You can tour his beautiful estates and walk through the halls where he once lived.
Colonial Williamsburg is almost a synonym for historical vacations. This location is a place where history comes alive, and you get to walk amongst it. Here you can see how the early colonies lived and interact with people who know extensively about history.
Scenic Views
Virginia isn’t known as the lover’s state because of its sense of humor- this state has beautiful views through and through. From Shenandoah mountain, where you can see the leaves transform into various gorgeous shades, the fall makes the water look like lovely gray glass to the endless coast. Potomac heritage trail offers a chance to see the natural and beautiful side of Virginia, along with the Shenandoah Trails, where you watch as autumn is continually happening around you.
This state feels the seasons like no other, with rough summers and cold winters, and gives visitors a chance to handle all seasons.
Food
There are so many incredible dishes that endless books are written on seasonal Virginian cuisine. Here are some of the most popular local foods, and why people go crazy over them!
Brunswick stew is a hearty and delicious stew that will keep the fall chills at bay. Instead of keeping out the cold, you won’t even notice it!
Smoked trout is a treat you can’t find in most parts of the country. Its delicious smoky flavor, tender meat, and various ways to eat it may make you start looking at Alexandria houses for sale.
Homemade apple butter is a treat I had to include because it’s the best one to take home with you when you leave. Smooth and sweet, Virginian apple butter is a treat of which you’ll want to take gallons home. It’s fantastic on bread, meats, and cheese!
