Fall Getaways

Take advantage of fall’s gradual cool down to enjoy some time out and about. Whether you’re looking forward to a hiking day trip, a drive to visit relatives or just meeting up with friends for lunch, it’s important to take advantage of the weekend as much as you can. After Columbus Day, you won’t have a lot of free time until the holiday season, so make the most of the time you do have!

All Packed Up

Long before you head out the door, it’s important to make sure your bags are all set. Even if you’re more of a “reading your iPad at your in-laws house” kind of weekend traveler, it helps to have a bag to tote as your must-have emergency entertainment. That’s why this week, backpacks are our Product Picks of the Week! Take a look at some of our favorites from The Houseboard Shop and Eastern Mountain Sports!
