This is my favorite time of the year. The fresh air, football and fall colors. Last weekend I took at little trip up to Le Claire, Iowa and came back down through Galena and some other fun little towns. The whole drive back was gorgeous. The oranges and red and yellows....so pretty.

This weekend's weather looks pretty good for a roadtrip...just sayin'. :-) I think I may take a little sightseeing cruise on a certain local steamboat this Sunday. The Illinois River makes for a great view this time of year!
