Relaxing Fall Getaways on a Budget

Share |

Nothing takes the fun out of a getaway as quickly as finding that your chosen spot is over-priced and over-crowded. Eastern Indiana is the perfect alternative, whether you are looking for art, theater, fine-dining or a relaxing escape to the country.

(I-Newswire) October 18, 2009 - You can enjoy fall color, crisp apples, pumpkin pies, corn mazes, pumpkin patches, and countless fall festivals. It is easily accessible from major interstates and three international airports, yet it still feels a world away. Historic farms on gently rolling hills and horses grazing against a backdrop of red and gold woodlands look much as they did 150 years ago. While you’re there, stock up on pies from a local pie factory, sample chocolates at gourmet candy shops, go antiquing, dancing, canoeing, biking.... The list is endless.
