One of my biggest pet peeves is when people on Instagram show entirely full products and tell me to buy them.

No. I want to see completely empty ones with scrunched up bottles because they have been squeezed to an absolute pulp (preferably by people I know in real life) to get every last tiny drop out of them.

I want to buy those.

Same goes for travel –– I don’t want to hear it if they haven’t personally been and loved it so much they’re already planning their visit back.

I haven’t been to the North East since I was 7ish, but recently realized that Philly, which I’ll be traveling to this October for a small COVID friendly wedding ceremony, is *not in the middle of the country where I for some reason I thought it was.

(Don’t judge, my geography is so way off and always has been –– case in point, in college my roomie was going to be studying abroad in Budapest for a semester and I spent WEEKS telling people she was going to Asia for months. Lord help me!)

So here is my new New England fall foliage bucket list made up of recommendations from friends who have either lived or visited the North East for years and is sure to be Sanderson Sister approved.

1.) Salem, MA

30 minute train ride from Boston
I’m dying to visit Salem because it is where several scenes in Hocus Pocus were filmed! I’m DYING to stand in front of Allison’s House (actually called Ropes Mansion) + Max and Dani Dennison’s house.

2.) New Hope, PA

Recommended again and again!

3.) Rhinebeck, NY

Home to the nation’s first operating inn!

4.) Boston, MA

5.) Stowe, Vermont

The walking trails and steepled churches… I CANNOT!!

6.) Cape Neddick, Maine

7.) Peddler’s Village, PN

Comes HIGHLY recommended from a gal who was born and raised in Philly. She and her family go here every year and she says the Scarecrow Festival is not to miss!
