Fall translates to fun travels, from pumpkin patches to grape vines to turning leaves
Boston
The pride of New England, historic Boston really comes into its own in autumn, as students return to their university classrooms (and the local pubs), baseball fans head to Fenway for the last games of the season, and brilliant foliage frames the city’s storied buildings, parks, and gardens. Dubbed “the walking city,” much of Beantown’s rich colonial character is easily explored on foot, while the crisp fall air and picturesque Charles River encourage water-based outings. While there's already plenty enough to distract you in town, Boston is also well-placed for foliage outings into the surrounding New England countryside.
How: Fly to Logan International (BOS) from Atlanta (AirTran, Delta; 2.5 hours), Chicago (AirTran, American, United, US Airways; 2.5 hours), New York (American, Continental, Delta, JetBlue, United, US Airways; 1.5 hours), and more.
