fall fun with the astins

A couple of weekends ago, Nathan's parents came to town. (By "to town" I mean to New England.) It was a great excuse to get out and see the fall beauty that is all around us. We leaf-peeped to our hearts' contents, ate fall food, visited pumpkin patches, and went to huge craft fairs. It was so much fun! I love being a tourist at home!

Unfortunately, the Astins were just a little early for the peak foliage. I think that a little early is much better than a little late, but it was still disappointing for them to come all this way and only see minimal color. Nathan has taken tons of great pictures of the ever-changing colors and I will post some of those later.

We also visited Melville's house. I know you'd always wanted to know where he penned Moby Dick; here it is! The house was a house but we had a really knowledgeable tour guide, it made it worth all the money Marc and Cathy spent. Thanks again!
We went to a couple of pumpkin patches, they all had cool set-ups! I love the fall!
