Lake Travis Area Day Trip for Pumpkins and World-Famous Pie

Written by Todd Hower | October 5, 2015

Halloween is right around the corner and it’s time to get your pumpkins!

Sure, you could make a quick trip to the local grocery store and grab a few pumpkins, but that would be boring. You’ve got a family that wants adventure and there are only a few weekends left before your neighborhood streets are filled with zombies in search of free candy.

How about taking a scenic drive through the Hill Country in search of pumpkins? And let’s throw in a little bonus to make your adventure even better — a slice of world-famous pie.

Just like spring is the perfect time for pictures in the bluebonnets, fall is the perfect time for pictures in the pumpkins.

This is Where You Live

How lucky are you?

You live in an amazing place. There are a lot of places that are just as beautiful. But what makes them so beautiful? Hill Country and lakes? Canyons and parks? The ocean? Mountains? Sure, those all make a place beautiful.

Places that are beautiful are places that are worth checking out — and people like to figure out how to move to these beautiful places.

I’ve been there. I moved to a small mountain town in Colorado in the early 90’s. About five years after I moved there the place started to get discovered. At least in my eyes. Talk to a local that has been living there for twenty years and they would say it started to get discovered about five years after they moved there.

Developers move in and take over places that were once quiet. But the reason they move in is because the demand is there. One condo project goes up and sells out before the slab is poured. Other developers join in. Next thing you know you have more condos. Apartments. Homes. Walmart. People. Traffic. Your world changes.
