Peep This

I am so sick of hearing about the foliage for those who like to "leaf peep."  Does anyone actually ever have time to load up the car and go look at the fall leaves?  It's a quaint idea but who exactly has time to do it?

Hey Curveball, we try to include everybody. Believe it or not, the fall foliage season is big business in New England. Tourists come from all over the world. I have to admit, I've never done it myself.

I'd love to be able to do it-perhaps I'm just a tad bitter.

Aww, really no leaf-peepin for you? I have to admit, I haven't gone this year .. but my parents would make it a yearly tradition when I was little .. I have come to have a true appreciation for it. Sometimes it's nice in life to slow down and enjoy the 'now' It can be spectacular! My son, 11, actually just flew out of Norwood airport to leaf peep from the sky!!! Besides, there is always great little farms to load up on fudge, cider, etc. too .. : )

Leaf peeping is one of those things New Englanders can do driving around as you do normally - just take the time to appreciate it. Dudley seems like an easy enough place to do that...

Maybe that's why it doesn't turn me on-I only need to look outside! Thanks Smiley and Vermonter.

Every year I leaf peep. We take one Saturday a year. load up the car and drive in a direction different than the one we drove last year.
Stop and smell the roses (or leaves). Time is the one true think in life you CAN make more of.

Do the kids sit still for it? That's a major problem.

I put it to them this way, I come to every game, concert, parent teacher conference. I drive you to sports, the mall friends homes. Don't tell me that you can't take ONE DAY to do something enjoyable with the rest of the family.
Just bringing everything into perspective for the next generation.
Yes they sit still. They also get icecream.

We don't make a special trip, just enjoy it as we go about our regular travels.
