Fall is a great time of year for weekend getaways (or longer trips, for families not tied to the school schedule.) Fall Foliage weekend getaways can be budget-friendly and a wonderful way to get out and enjoy the Great Outdoors. You could also add in some apple-picking, or a visit to a corn maze or a pumpkin patch.
Check out a dozen ideas for fall vacations, from outdoorsy getaways in New England, to the Caribbean at "summer rates", to Christian music bashes in Orlando.

help. i so need a place for a long weekend with an 18 month old. we’re looking for a nice hotel (vs. inn) with an indoor pool and some type of local halloween or fall themed weekend activities. i’m coming up empty, what am i missing?
Hi, Kirsten: how about Nemacolin Woodlands, which has many lodging options, indoor pool, Little Tykes Club, and seasonal activities. Also, Club Rocking Horse ranch in NY state has a nursery program for children 3 and under; it’s not a hotel, though.
