Foliage Drives for Lazy Couples

Crisp fall air comes through the open window. Trees show off red orange and yellow leaves. You and your partner sit in the car and drive at a slow pace. No need for big plans or lots of walking. This is good for lazy days when you want to spend time together. Choose roads that wind through hills or woods. Bring water bottles and some food. Talk about the colors you like best. The trip can last two or three hours. You return home refreshed without much effort.
