The September Bucket List



Fall Weekend Trips


BLUE RIDGE, GEORGIA — For the Cozy Cabin Weekend

Trade the city for mountain views, a beautiful cabin and a slower weekend with your girls. Spend the afternoon wandering Downtown Blue Ridge, visit a winery, grab something good to eat, then head back to the cabin for wine by the fire. As fall gets going, add apple picking at Mercier Orchards or a ride on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. Blue Ridge is about 90 miles north of Atlanta and is especially strong for the classic fall mountain getaway.

HIGHLANDS, NORTH CAROLINA — For the Chic Mountain Weekend

If your ideal fall weekend involves mountain air and somewhere cute to wear the outfit you packed, put Highlands on the list. Think waterfall hikes in the morning followed by shopping, galleries, wine and a really good dinner downtown. Highlands combines more than 200 area hiking trails with upscale shopping, dining, arts and nearby waterfalls - so it feels considerably more polished than a purely outdoorsy mountain trip.

LAKE OCONEE, GEORGIA — For the Luxury Reset

For the weekend when you want to do almost nothing - but do it somewhere beautiful. Make The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee the destination and spend the weekend between the spa, lake, cocktails and long dinners. The resort also offers experiences ranging from sunset cruises and mixology to golf and lake activities.
