Fall Bucket List - 2015

I'm so excited for this fall!!!

Of course, it doesn't feel like fall yet. Our daily highs are still in the low 90s but today it is dreary and about 85 degrees out so I'm saying its fall damnit!

I was inspired so this morning I picked up around the house, lit a couple of fall themed candles and sat down to figure out our Fall Bucket List.

I'm really missing how much fun we had. While we can't make that trip again this year I'm hoping this fall will be full of fun!
