We planned a weekend family road trip from the Carolinas to Roanoke, Virginia, hoping to see fall foliage along the way. The drive from our home was about three and a half hours.
I enjoyed being able to explore new places on a short trip. For this one, we had brochures and a few activities in mind, and my husband had been researching places to eat and coffee shops.
A fall getaway in the making
This lake photograph was an inspiration image included while we planned the trip. It was hosted through ActiveRain and is not one of our own trip photographs.

History, antique shops, and time exploring together were part of what appealed to us about the getaway.
