I am packed and ready for my next big adventure. I am heading to Alton, Illinois for a few days to experience a fall adventure. Here in Florida, temperatures are still hitting the high 90’s and everything is still so…green. I guess it’s not a bad thing; the Florida seasons are similar to my wardrobe, all the same color.
Oh, how I love fall though. It’s perfect; the temperatures, the colors and the feeling. It’s so festive and happy.
After stalking the state of Illinois on social media for the past few months, I know that I am in for a real treat. I already know I am going to fall in love, and may even be tempted to relocate to the Midwest for part of the year.
So, as of right now, I know I’m going to be parasailing. I can finally check that off the bucket list. It’s amazing that I haven’t done it before, living in Florida and all, just an hour from the beach.
I am also excited to experience the hauntings of Alton. I am a sucker for all things scary, just hope I am able to sleep at night.
Speaking of sleeping, I will be staying at The GreenTree Inn Bed & Breakfast. I’ve never stayed at a bed and breakfast before. Another first for me.
So now that my 5 sweaters have been pulled from storage and packed, I’m ready to go. Alton, Illinois, here I come!
