Autumn, the best time of the year? HECK YEA!!!

The beach that the GPS took us to, underneath the bridge we drove over
A metal leaf at the Old North Bridge visitor center that I absolutely loved
The Old North Bridge
This is a picture I took from the airplane on the way home from Boston
Whenever it is fall everything just seems happier. It feels like it is perfect. The soft breezes and the cool temperatures; the way the leaves change colors and fall to the ground and crunch under your feel as you walk. That is autumn. In autumn you have Halloween, and Thanksgiving, One holiday you dress up in costumes and go around to houses shouting "TRICK OR TREAT!" and then running away after getting candy, or you might sit at home and when the door bell rings be the one giving the little trick or treaters their candy as they run away screaming with joy. On thanksgiving you might go over to your grandmas and laugh the evening away with the family, or maybe you will stay at home with just your parents and play board games all day. Maybe you'll spend the day building puzzles. Whatever it is? It will just be amazing, because it is autumn. I don't know why but autumn has always made me feel more at home, maybe it's because that is when my birthday is, but whatever it is I love it. In my recent trip to Boston my appreciation for history grew. I got to see the house that one of my ancestors might have lived in, I saw the house of Louisa May Alcott - the writer of Little Women. There is just so much history there that I would have never really understood unless I saw it. I love the history and the memories there, and I love the memories that I made with my family. Whenever we would leave our hotel to go explore more of Massachusetts, we would take the elevator down to the lobby, and my sister would always make sure that when we got in the elevator to have us all look up at the ceiling to take a picture in the mirrors that were there. Those are the memories I cherish. Or when we were in the car and there was a spider that crawled under something in the top of the car and we were all freaked out for the rest of the ride back to the hotel. Or when we were going to Plymouth and the GPS decided to take us on a scenic route to the beach where we took some amazing pictures. My family means the world to me, and I don't know what I would do without them, they are my main support system, they go to all my choir and orchestra concerts, even if it's not what they wanted to be doing that night, and I appreciate them for that, I might not always show it but I really do appreciate them so much, and I hope they know this. It's the little things that get taken for granted. And I am going to try to make sure that I don't take them for granted. I kinda strayed a little off of the original topic but oh well, this is my blog and I will write about whatever I want to, no matter how cheesy it is. Or how stupid it sounds, I am going to write it.
