October Family Fun

October is the most AWESOME month in Tennessee! It’s pumpkin time, it’s corn maze time, it’s football time, it’s fall break time (my fave!).

Pumpkin Patches and Corn Mazes

Nothing defines the fall season in our homes more than a trip to a pumpkin patch. Make a plan, pack the minivan, and set out on an adventure. See some parts of Tennessee that may be new to you, enjoy the fall colors and take a selfie or two with your family as you enjoy some time together at one of these great venues.
