California seems to want to skip fall altogether this year and that just breaks my heart. So before the whole world is taken over by "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas," I'm putting together my fall bucket list for my favorite season. Let me know if I'm missing anything!

What's on your fall bucket list? 
Did I miss anything? 
What are your top favorites?
Which one is the one thing you really have to do in order for it to "feel like fall"? (Mine would have to be drinking cider, walking through piles of colorful leaves, and going on a drive to see all the foliage)

    Agreed about CA. I spent time by the pool yesterday - which is great but also sad haha. I like your list! I'm thinking maybe in January it'll start feeling like fall :)

      Thanks so much! Yeah, I love nice weather but I really miss the east coast "fall." I was born in the Bay Area but I spent enough of my life in the Northeast that I just want plaid, hot cider, apple picking, and trees full of pretty pretty colors! What are some things you do make things feel more like fall, despite the weather?
