14 Things to Do This Fall if You Live in the Eastern United States
As fall slowly descends on the east and we replace our sandals and skirts with boots and sweaters, we’re craving all of those cozy activities that mark the change of the seasons and the holidays to come. The East Coast has one of the most spectacular displays of fall with New England lighting up with fiery toned foliage and the fall harvests gracing us with their bounties.  There are also some surprises that come with fall such as oyster season – which gains steam in September – as well as beloved activities such as cider and wine tasting. We’ve also found hidden weekend getaways perfect for leaf crunching and fireside sipping. Fall is the East Coast’s favorite season for a reason, so tag along as we dive into the possibilities.

Luxury Hotels with Bunk Beds Are Seriously Trending, Here’s Why
What do trips to grandma’s house, summer camp, hostels, and your shared childhood bedroom have in common? Bunk beds. While thinking of family trips or your shared bedroom may be somewhat triggering, thoughts of your study abroad program (and the hostels that came with it) and summer sleepaway camp take you right down memory lane.  Forward thinking boutique hotels are not only recognizing the nostalgia of bunk beds, but also their practicality and cost efficiency for families and group travelers alike. Gone are the days of tween siblings begrudgingly sharing a bed on family vacation or groups of friends cramming as many people into a queen as their budget allows. Today we’re jumping into twelve hotels with the most luxurious (and fun!) bunk beds that will have even the pickiest of sleepers saying, “I claim top bunk!” Reporter: Heather Ash
