Two-for-one experiences make me feel like I'm getting a little extra out of life. What better, then, than a duel apple picking and pumpkin patch experience at Jonamac Apple Orchard for my birthday weekend this fall? We loved it!

Suited up in our rainboots, we wandered through the patch looking for the perfect orange gourd, but quickly came across these colorful squash in a variety of surprising shapes.

Then we went house hunting. This barn seemed like a solid contender, though a little drafty.
