Plus after you pick the apples you get to take them home! Then this leads to my next date idea…

With the apples you pick (or bought at the grocery store), you can bake all kinds of stuff; apple crumbles, candy apples, and the famous apple pie! Another baked good you can make is pumpkin pie and cinnamon rolls.
It’s fun to see your partner in the kitchen and putting their baking skills to the test.
3) Go To The Pumpkin Patch
Going to a pumpkin patch has to be by far the top favorite place for couples to go to. Take some cute couple photos and pick out a pumpkin!

I think you might have caught on that I am OBSESSED with the fall leaves! I just admire how the colors change and how they look in photos.

Plus you get to keep the photos and post them on your social media, or even print them out!
15) Drive-in Theater
Drive-in theaters typically close before the snowfall comes. Take the opportunity to go one last time before they closed.
You can sneak in your own snacks, and bring some blankets. This is better than having to go to a regular movie theatre. Plus you can talk to each other rather than whispering to each other.
16) Rent a Cabin
