If you have never been to New England in the fall, it should be on your list of places to visit. Well, that's if you love everything about autumn like I do. Pumpkins, mums, maple syrup at Vermont pancake houses, apple cider, painted leaves, rolling multi-colored hills, antique shops with REAL ANTIQUES not stuff from the 50's. On my trip this year to Massachusetts for my sister's wedding we stopped off in Amherst at the Emily Dickinson Museum. We chose the "This Was A Poet" tour. The highlight for me was getting to read her poems outloud at the end of the tour. Which just happened to be under the only tree on the property that survived since the Dickinson family lived there. Quite an experience for a poetry geek like myself.
