Happy fall! Many of you may or may not know that autumn has officially been around for one month already! Time really does fly! Although the temperature is occasionally still warm, and the leaves haven’t quite started changing colors yet, fall is in full swing. Autumn provides us with so many amazing opportunities to enjoy nature’s beauty and what better way to savor the elegance before the harsh winter blows its way than through a bucket list?
