Autumn is Awesome


This is another post by Excursion staff member Kelly Teufel.  Here, she shares her thoughts on Fall in Virginia and the city of Lynchburg.

My experience of autumn in Lynchburg has been awesome. I am from West Palm Beach, Florida so I am used to beaches and 80-degree weather during fall. Excursion sent me to visit Lynchburg for a week and experience the area with our readers.

In Florida there are not any seasons it is just hot all the time. So the change was definitely needed and now, after living in Virginia for four years, I love seasons. Autumn is my favorite probably just because of what it brings and the holidays it leads to. In Florida its weird to carve pumpkins and drink hot chocolate. I just love that in Virginia, we have the opportunity to do the simple things like apple picking, pumpkin patches, festivals and hiking. 

When I think about these things I think of fall. I enjoy being outside and when you are outdoors in autumn the cool air is so wonderfully refreshing. I believe Virginia has made me want to keep living in a place where there is more than one season. Virginia has one of the best falls I have ever experienced.
