Fond Memories. I met up with Katie for our first bike ride back in June. We ended our ride with frozen mango margaritas at Sequoia. We've been friends and bike partners ever since and decided to salute the waning days of summer by revisiting the scene of the crime.

New Discoveries. I finally made good on my promise to visit more wineries. Turns out there's no better way to spend an afternoon. Even when those warm days are long gone and it's too chilly to sit on the deck, indoor tastings continue year round.

Hello, autumn. I'm excited to do some hiking on leaf-covered trails and taking in the fall colors. And soon, I'll be running again! That's what I'm looking forward to most.

What was your favorite memory this summer? What do you look forward to most about fall?
Fall means cooler days and less humidity in the midwest. Trails become less overgrown and colors start to change. It's the best time of year, in my opinion.

ReplyDeletei will be back out there - with you - before fall is gone.
Margaritas are terrific all year round!!! If the ice seems a bit much..... drink tequila from the bottle ;-)
ReplyDeleteNice pictures!
ReplyDeleteWhen autumn arrives, I look forward to soup, sleep, and walking the dogs at a reasonable hour.
Fall is the best time of year for running. I'm coming back off an injury and looking forward to building up some miles so I can maybe attempt a 100miler in 2011.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite thing about fall is being able to go out in my garden without getting eaten by mosquitoes.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite memory this summer was lazy days by the pool!
ReplyDeleteAhhh I will miss the Georgetown waterfront!!!!
