Oh, friends. It's here. October is here.
You know what October means? It means we are pretty certain to have at least one chilly-ish day. I can't wait. I have mentioned before that I feel like I am more attractive in clothes that are more covering, so I am ready for the boost of self-esteem that cooler temps bring to my everyday life. There are darling outfit combinations in my closet that have been crying out to be worn since February.
Also, I haven't gotten the Fall decorations down from the attic yet, but I did throw some pumpkins on the mantle.
Tonight, Grant and I had a lovely little dinner conversation. We discussed one of those hypothetical, never-gonna-happen scenarios... I asked him the following:
If you could take 3 trips in the next year, the first being within your state, the next being within your country, and the next being somewhere internationally, where would you go?
(Fair warning: this conversation topic will undoubtedly lead to you looking at flight costs online.)
His answer:
In Texas: Some small town somewhere that we haven't heard of
In America: Boston
Internationally: Ireland, Scotland, or "somewhere with cliffs that I can play golf"
My answer:
In Texas: Round Top
In America: Washington DC or something historical (I've got a bit of a history bug lately... I need to go to museums or historical places that have been around since before 1900. I'm weird.) Or, on a totally different playing field... Los Angeles.
Internationally: LONDON (again, my need for somewhere with a lot of history)
In case you're wondering, flights in November to Boston on United are actually quite reasonable!
Anyways, it was a fun conversation over a delicious meal cooked by Grant and it was a fun little journey across the world. We spent a lot of time on Google Maps!
So where would you go?
Go with Grant! Come to Boston! I mean, I even have a little event that involves an aisle, a big fancy dress and a gorgeous cake going on in November ;)
ReplyDeleteI so remember being over the moon happy about fall FINALLY arriving in Texas. Even if it was still 80 degrees, it was OCTOBER! There was HOPE! :)
