day tripper

Yesterday was our annual fall foliage tour :) Last year we explored Connecticut and upstate New York, so this year we headed west through NJ and into Pennsylvania. We almost canceled due to rain, but it turned out to be beautiful and overcast while we were out of the car and only rainy while we drove.

This is what a lot of the roads looked like:


Peak time for leaves in PA is next weekend but they were still really beautiful:


We stopped here for some apple picking:





Then went to Dilly's, a little diner Cameron remembered from one of his Martha photo shoots back in the day.


After lunch, we drove along the Delaware:


And passed such cute towns as Frenchtown, PA. Does this not look like a movie set? Stars Hollow, anyone? In my opinion, charming little towns like this are one of the coolest things about the East...



Our last stop was the Crayola factory in Easton, PA. They have a demonstration about how they make crayons and markers + lots of fun crafts and activities for the kids to do. Does anyone else remember this? We were hoping they would play that awesome music but unfortunately they didn't...



This is Sawyer coloring on a glass wall. Don't worry, he's supposed to.


Hudson painting with melted crayons. Don't worry, he's supposed to. :)


A small canal museum is housed in the same building as the Crayola factory and comes with your admission. Each kid gets a boat that they take through a series of waterways and canals. Kind of random but the boys loved it. Sawyer's actually turning a wheel to move the boats up this ramp:


The end!
