2023 New England Fall Foliage Road Trip Preliminary Itinerary

And just like that it’s already time for our 3rd annual mother daughter Fall foliage trip to New England. There truly is nothing like it especially being a Texas girl at heart who has never had true seasons. The changing leaves at their peak colors take my breath away every year.

This year instead of trying several new towns like last year we decided we wanted to do a quick trip and go back to our all time favorite spots from the past two years.

The best form of transportation for the trip once you are up there is to rent a car. Thankfully everything is fairly close to each other so you can pack a lot in in a short amount of time. It’s typically more cost effective to pick up the car and drop it off at the same location so we fly in and out of Boston Logan International Airport. My only piece of advise for driving is to do it while it’s light out

Day 1- Stowe, VT
Day 2- Woodstock, VT
Day 3- Woodstock, NH
Day 4- Kennebunkport, ME
Day 5- Boston, MA

ITINERARY

Day 1: Stowe, VT– Stowe, VT is the furthest drive that we will do so that’s why we are flying in early and heading straight there. Out of all of the places I’ve been in New England, there’s just something about Stowe (even as touristy as it is) that I just love. Mama didn’t get to do this one two years ago so I insisted we go back! It’s pretty expensive to stay right in town but if you’re only there for one night, WORTH IT.

  • Stay- Airbnb right in town (The Lodge at Spruce Peak is another fantastic option)
  • Must do: Drive through Smuggler’s Notch, take a gondola ride up Spruce Peak and hike the trails (beginner level), walk around town and grab coffee at Black Cap, grab apple cider and donuts at Cold Hollow Cider Mill on way out of town

Day 2: Woodstock, VT– Not to be confused with Woodstock, NH (although we head there next), Woodstock, VT is another more popular destination that is 100% worth the hype. The town looks like it’s out of a hallmark movie! Woodstock, VT is about an hour and a half away from both from Stowe, VT and Woodstock, NH.

  • Stay- The Shire Hotel (Woodstock Inn is another fantastic option)
  • Must do: walk around town and grab a picture in front of Middle Covered Bridge, drinks at Au Comptior, dinner at Prince and the Pauper or The Red Rooster, visit Sugarbush Farms for cheese and maple syrup

Day 3: Woodstock, NH– This is our only new destination this year and it is purely because I wanted to stay at Lumen and also do the train dinner. We’ve tried for two years to do this but it books up SO far in advance. We somehow grabbed an early dinner reservation this year so I’m super excited. We plan on using Woodstock really just as a place to stay and then head onto the pretty leaves further north.

  • Stay- Lumen Nature Retreat
  • Must do: grab a reservation for The Cafe Lafayette Dinner Train (books months in advance)
  • Near by: Artist Bluff hiking trail (most stunning view on top), Flume Gorge, Kancamagus Highway (56 mile stretch of THE most beautiful foliage you will see), Bear Notch Rd., Rocky Gorge Scenic Area

Day 4: Kennebunkport, ME– While Stowe and Woodstock are places that I’m sure are beautiful year round, they are special to me for their Fall charm. On the other hand, Kennebunkport is a place I’d love to go year round for a different kind of charm. It’s less about the Fall foliage and more about a cute town on the coast of Maine. I joke that it’s the 30A/Rosemary Beach of the north 🙂

  • Stay- Airbnb (we typically stay in Kennebunk or a surrounding town since it’s cheaper and close by)
  • Must do: walk around town, grab a drink at Batson River Brewing & Distilling (always decorated so cute for fall), get a lobster roll and clam chowder at The Clam Shack
  • Near by: Nubble Lighthouse, Stonewall Kitchen York Company Store (they serve breakfast)

A Long Weekend Itinerary in Traverse City, MI

If you are looking for a weekend getaway that is not only beautiful but has it ALL, Michigan is such a hidden gem. Traverse City is a short 5 hour drive from Chicago, IL. We spent Labor Day weekend up there but are already want to plan a trip back in the Fall. Here is our 4 day itinerary with almost everything being dog friendly including our amazing Airbnb.

DAY 1

Explore town downtown Traverse City

Dinner- The Little Fleet food trucks (dog friendly)

Ice cream- Moomers (lots of ice cream shops sell Moomers)

DAY 2 

Golf- Bahle Farms

Lunch- Hop Lot Brewing Co.

Head home to change

Beach – There are beaches everywhere but drive to Good Harbor beach believe me it’s worth the drive. It’s dog friendly but dogs must be on a leash. Plenty of room to spread out as it’s not a crowded beach!

Shower/change

Dinner- Artisan (grab an outdoor patio seat) or Trattoria Stella

Cocktails- Lowbar (dive bar feel) or North Bar (rooftop bar that sometimes has live music) 

Go out- Kilkenny’s Irish Pub

DAY 3

Breakfast- grab a breakfast burrito to go at Shipwreck Cafe

Hike/sightsee

  • Empire Buff Trail- easy hike with a beautiful view
  • Pierce Stocking Scenic Route ($25 to get into the National park, only do this if you have a few hours)
  • Sleeping Bear Dunes overlook, trail, climb (this is 3 separate hikes with different difficulties)
  • Pyramid Point Trailhead- if you do just one hike, let it be this one!

Coffee at The Mill

Walk around Fishtown

Lunch- Village Cheese Shanty (cash only)

Leland Wineries

Head home to freshen up 

Dinner- Apache Trout Grille (go early and sit on the back deck for a drink) or Farm Club (farm to table)

DAY 4

Breakfast- Towne Plaza

Coffee- Seven Hills (Mission Proper) 

Visit Mission Point Lighthouse and Old Mission General Store

Winerie’s in Mission point

  • Brys Estate (dog friendly + the Pinot Blanc and Froze are delicious)
  • Bowers Harbor (dog friendly)
  • Mari Vineyards (dog friendly, enjoy a flight in the adirondack chairs overlooking the winery and water)
  • Black Star Winery
  • Bonobo Winery
  • 2Lads

Lunch- Jolly Pumpkin (opens at 12, ask about ghost Genevieve) or Peninsula Grill (both are dog friendly)

Head home to change and get ready for dinner

Go to the rooftop at Hotel Indigo for drinks

Dinner- Boathouse (make a reservation in advance)

Quiet Luxury Fall Haul

Walmart just released some new Fall arrivals and they are so on trend wether you are trying to nail the quiet luxury trend or want to wear them into the office, I am thoroughly impressed with everything and definitely recommend taking a look! You can’t beat these prices and the quality is some of the best I’ve ever purchased from Walmart.

If you don’t know where to start looking, I recommend checking out the Free Assembly, Scoop and Time and Tru lines. All three offer very on trend items at an affordable price. I’ve gone ahead and rounded up some of my favorite finds at the moment below. Simply click on any of the images that you wish to shop!

*Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post. As always all thoughts and opinions are my own.*

Summer Capsule Wardrobe

Summer Capsule Wardrobe

FROM THE ANNIVERSARY SALE

If you aren’t familiar with a capsule wardrobe, let me introduce you to something that might literally change your life. The idea of a capsule wardrobe is to buy a few items that you can style a ton of different ways. Some people buy one capsule wardrobe for their entire year while I like to think of capsule wardrobes seasonally. Typically in capsule wardrobes you see less trendy items and more basic, timeless pieces that can be worn year after year and over and over again. This is why people are willing to invest a little more money into a capsule wardrobe because you should get the absolute most wear out of these outfits possible!

With the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale going on, we thought it would be fun to select a Summer capsule wardrobe made up of items from the sale in case you wanted to score new, name brands for less but I will also link similar items from other retailers in case you want a more affordable option or in the event that Nordstrom pieces sell out. See below for alternatives as well as outfit styling inspiration made up from items in the capsule wardrobe!
