And while I firmly believe Texas is the best place in the world, it does fall a bit flat when it comes to experiencing the season of fall & all the corresponding activities. So while apple picking with a side of apple cider & apple cider donuts aren’t going to happen, Texas does offer some of her own great fall experiences!

Mimosas anyone?
