Happy Autumn Modesto
I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. I spent my time with friends and family, as well as eating sweet treats. Fall is by far one of the most beautiful seasons we have here. November is the month to remember what we are thankful for. I am so grateful to live in a place that brings out so much beauty during this season. I love watching all of the leaves turn different colors and feeling the air get crisp. The fall colors are arriving, and our beloved Modesto ash trees foliage comes upon us. One of my favorite things about Fall is all of the yummy things my mom and I bake. Every Fall, my mom and I bake these delicious vegan chocolate chip pumpkin muffins. Try and find some time to cook or bake with family this month. For some more pleasure this season, I recommend checking out some fun corn mazes in our area. I love Dutch Hollow farms. It is super family-friendly, and it is located right here in Modesto at 4524 Milnes Road. They have a corn maze, pumpkin patches, games, a petting zoo, and so much more. A farm day pass is $12, and children two and under are free! Be sure to head there in Spring as well because they sell their beautiful tulips. I go every year with my family, and it is one of the highlights of the season.
This month, I would like to take the time to talk about one of my newest favorite spots to visit in Modesto. The Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum! I visited during their recent open house. This is one of the most incredible places on the old Historic US99, about a mile from the original Burges drive-in! It displays many different vintage and classic cars, as well as interesting facts about each vehicle. For example, It was fascinating to see a 1932 Ford five-window coupe and realize this was built the same year my great-grandmother was born. Visiting this museum cemented my dream that, yes, one day, I would have a convertible. Check it out on N 9th street. I highly recommend taking a peek! I hope everyone enjoys their Fall as much as I will and has a wonderful season!
