Well, autumn has arrived! A few leaves are starting to turn in the DC area. I don't know if I am ready for this.
- Denver
- New Orleans
- Arkansas
- Victoria, Canada
- NYC/NJ
- Caribbean
We are well into fall, and I have already ran though a few corn mazes! The air is crisp and I am hankering to get to an apple orchard for some fresh fall produce to cook up in my kitchen. I recently purchased a pumpkin pie scented oil diffuser that is making my place smell like I have baked something yummy... now I need to do it!
Fall also means that I want to get out for a last bit of fresh air - I want to hit a trail and soak up the colors, feel the sun on your exposed skin and enjoy the sites and sounds of the changing of the season. And for some reason, DC's fall is lack-luster AGAIN! So, off I go... I had a few things planned early, and some trips will be last minute.
In October, I had a few weekend trips planned to Colorado and Louisiana to see friends and loved ones. Short trips, but important ones since I don't get to these areas for work any more. New Orleans is one of my favorite cities and part of my heart... I am excited that I got there before Halloween again! And Denver is beautiful in the fall - the yellows are always spectacular.
In November, I am headed out for a big National Park visit in Arkansas - Hot Springs National Park! This is a big one! With the Parks Centennial, I made an effort to get to a few new (to me) parks and park units, and an Arkansas weekend gives me a chance to see Hot Springs and Little Rock High School Historic Site. And then will flip around to Seattle to visit the best friend for her Birthday celebration, where we mark the occasion in Victoria Canada. She runs an amazing web site called What's up Northwest, and with her connections, we will have an epic weekend!
In December, I have am trying to find time to visit Florida again (we will see if I can get this to work)... and I will return to NYC! I will be headed to Broadway to see my fav, Sutton Foster in Sweet Charity with my good friend before I embark on a 12 day Caribbean trip on the Queen Mary 2. I may not have been on the New Kids on the Block cruise this year nor did I get to my final state, Hawaii, but this cruise may just make up for that... this cruise will stop by a few new places for me - including St Kitts, St Marteen, Tortola, and Dominica as well as a return trip to St Thomas (I have not been there since my 30th birthday).
