Hay November!

As November sweeps in with its crisp air and vibrant colors, we're excited to bring you our monthly newsletter to keep you informed, inspired, and connected. This month we invite you to dive into the warmth of gratitude, share in the spirit of Thanksgiving, and explore a treasure trove of content designed to help you find where you're meant to BE (perhaps, it's on a hayride 😁).

 

Autumn in the DMV is hands down my favorite time of year. With the cooler temps, football 🏈, Halloween 🎃, and Thanksgiving 🦃...what's not to like?! It's also a time of year to take a moment to pause and truly take a moment to appreciate all of the things we have in our lives to be grateful for, there's indeed something special about this time of year.

Where to BE in the DMV

Butler's Orchard - Germantown, MD

Recently, my family and I had the opportunity to explore Butler's Orchard for their annual Fall Pumpkin Festival. What a great time! Butler's transforms their farm into a giant playground for kids and adults alike. We enjoyed horse rides, a petting zoo, potato sack slides, mini John Deer excavators, corn mazes, face painting, and hayrides, to name just a few of the highlights. However, if you were to ask Dahlia what was her favorite activity, she'd emphatically yell out "THE BIG BOUNCY-BOUNCY!!" Essentially a giant air mattress that kids were losing their minds jumping up and down and running on. 🤪

 

Butler's Orchard has enjoyed 73 years since being established by George & Shirley Butler in 1950. What originally started as a peach stand under a large apple tree has grown to over 300+ acres of awesomeness! This year-round farm is a must-visit. And, although you'll have to wait until next year for the Pumpkin Festival (and likely need to fight off Dahlia for time on the "bouncy bouncy" 🤣), you can still enjoy a fall day of picking apples 🍎, hitting their farmhouse market, or even cutting down your own Christmas tree 🎄 (for those who celebrate).

 

Just a short 30-45 min drive outside the city, this place definitely makes the "ꓭ. List" 😉 Please click HERE for more info about Butler's Orchard.
