PLEASE NOTE

Sweetest Spooky Trip

This was such a fun trip, especially for the fall! I loved all the sweet treats, spooky stops that I'd never heard of and the cutest farm market with animals that I've ever been to!

So lovely!

Was lucky to be able to test this trip prior to launch, and I had such a good time! So many festive fall options and gooey butter tarts, with a few spooky stories thrown in. With the fall colours, this trip would be absolutely magical!

We're so happy you enjoyed this trip! We can't wait to launch it for everyone else to enjoy too!
