Autumn is my favorite time of the year and it’s one of the reasons I can handle the Wisconsin winters.

There really is nothing quite like the changing of the leaves and the activities that fill our Fall schedule. The bonfires, apples, pumpkin flavored everything – I can’t wait! It’s also a big time for date days or nights for us as our Summer is so jam-packed that we usually forget to take time for just the two of us. So today, I have 43 free or cheap fall date ideas that you can easily do!
