Get Yourself A Cider Donut

Oh my gosh! If you don't get one of these during the fall time, you're missing out. But the key is, they HAVE to be extra warm, or they're just not good.

We have so many orchards near us to choose from; Edwards Apple Orchard and Curran's Orchard are some of my favorites.

Check Out A Spine-Chilling Ghost Tour

There are SO many creepy and fun ghost tours that you can take in our state.

A popular one is actually right here in the 815 at Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum and Gardens. But there are American Ghost Walks (Lake Geneva,) Chicago Gangsters and Ghosts Tours (Chicago,) Haunted Conover Square Ghost Tours (Oregon,) and much more!

I don't blame you if that one isn't your vibe, because it isn't mine either. But I do love hearing about people's experiences in these places!
