The grocery stores are swapping watermelon for pumpkins, and we all of the sudden have a hankering for Thanksgiving dinner. Either we’re itching for fall vibes, or the cool air is making its way in. In any case, autumn is just about here, and you’ve got a short window from when the colorful leaves change to when they’re brown ‘n fallen.
If you’re anything like us, COVID-19 subtly (and quite maliciously) ruined our big vacation plans. That’s not to say we’re not all deserving of an autumn-soaked getaway filled with apple cider, knit sweaters + fall foliage!
