Whether you carve your jack-o-lantern or simply pull out the paintbrushes, there’s no better way to celebrate October and the Halloween season by decorating your own pumpkin. Of course, you have to pick one out first!
Near our apartments in Washington, D.C., we have much more than our share of restaurants and stores – we also have several farms within a short drive where we can get in the autumn spirit for the day and find that perfect pumpkin. Check out these pumpkin patches near RESA for a fun fall day in the DC countryside!
