Fall is my favorite season. I love the cooler weather and especially the jewel-toned foliage.

With gas prices going down and leaves at or near peak across the US, this is the perfect time for a road trip.

Here are some resources to help you plan a great Fall road trip :

Virginia is for wine lovers and it’s no mystery why.
• There are over 300 wineries and dozens of
wine trails to explore
• Many VA wineries produce award-winning wines that rival those from other popular wine regions, resulting in Virginia being nicknamed “the Napa Valley of the East Coast”

October is Virginia Wine Month, the perfect time to discover and enjoy this thriving wine region.🍷

Since moving from northern to central Virginia, I’ve been enjoying the more rural surroundings. My BF and I have also been enjoying relaxing scenic drives and overnight trips as often as we can.

Some of my favorite things about Virginia:
• lots cool cities & towns to explore
• stunning scenery (We came across the stunning view in the photo on our way to @revalationvineyards)
• a thriving wine industry (I’m working my way through all 300+)
• tons of history

Do you have a favorite destination in Virginia? 🤔 Where & why? Let me know - I’ll add it to my must-visit list!

[⬅️ Swipe] If you enjoy history, photography, and/or the outdoors, Harpers Ferry, WV, should be on your list of places to visit. It’s a fun place to explore and great destination for a day trip if you live in Northern VA, MD, WV, or DC.

Harpers Ferry National Historic Park (@harpersferrynps) is located at the junction of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers and the intersection of the Appalachian Trail, the C&O Canal Towpath, and the Potomac Heritage Trail.

The bridge (photo #1) connects West Virginia and Maryland and its not uncommon to encounter hikers tackling a portion of (or hiking the entire) Appalachian Trail. Sweethearts also enjoy the beautiful views from the bridge and sometimes leave a lock behind to commemorate their love.

🌟PRO TIP: For great view/photo opportunities, either:
- follow the steps in town up past St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church to Harpers Cemetery at the top of the hill
OR
- hike up to the top of one of the trails to get a view of the river and historic downtown area

One of my favorite activities when I travel is to take photos (and videos) of the people, places & things I encounter. TBH, though, it can be difficult to put down the camera (or phone) and just live in the moment.

In April, I combined my 2 passions - travel & photography - when I took a @photoenrichment photography tour of Chicago run by travel photographer and tour operator @ralphvelasco.

The tour was great (thanks, Ralph!), Chicago was awesome, I met some new people, and I came back with some wonderful memories (both in my head and in photo/video form). I couldn’t have asked for a better 1st trip to the Windy City.

What’s YOUR favorite thing to do when you travel? 🤔

In this photo of the tour group by @ralphvelasco: I'm 2nd from the right and my friend/travel buddy @kimberlycecchini is 3rd from the right), and the rest of the tour group.

There’s nothing better than starting the day enjoying a gorgeous sunrise like this. Whenever I stay at a place t where I can get a view like this, I set my alarm and get up to watch the sunrise at least once. Its a great way to enjoy some quiet time before the day starts. This is one of my simple pleasures and travel rituals. I highly recommend it! And if you can share it with someone special, it’s even better.

“I am going to keep having fun every day I have left, because there is no other way of life. You just have to decide whether you are a Tigger or an Eeyore.” - Randy Pausch

I’m definitely a Tigger! Life is too short to not have fun and try to find some joy in every day.

Cloud Gate (commonly referred to as “The Bean” because of it’s shape) is synonymous with Chicago.

Located in Millennium Park in Chicago’s downtown loop, this stunning sculpture by Anish Kapoor was unveiled in 2004 and quickly became one of Chicago’s top tourist attractions.

This iconic polished stainless steel beauty is 33 feet high, 42 feet wide, and 66 feet long and weighs about 110 tons.

One of the coolest things about Cloud Gate is how it reflects the skyline around it - and of course the millions of people who visit it each year.

📍Millennium Park above McCormick Tribune Plaza, Michigan Avenue, Chicago
