Fall Vacations - Ideas
Fall vacations can be terrific. If your kids aren't in school, autumn is a great chance to enjoy lower prices and fewer crowds, and in many places, weather in early autumn is as nice as summer. Those with kids in school can do weekend getaways such as "leaf-peeping". Late autumn brings Halloween and Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, Caribbean and Hawaii holidays are at bargain rates.

Fall Vacation Idea: Corn Mazes

Fall Vacation: Halloween Events & Getaways
A great fall foliage vacation idea is a weekend getaway at a country inn with family Halloween festivities. Meanwhile, theme parks go all out for Halloween, though some are far too scary for little kids; and any city you'd like to visit is sure to have Halloween events at zoos, children's museums, and science museums.
