Shhh. Close your eyes.
Imagine a peaceful fall hike with your friends. The air is crisp. Pine needles rustle underfoot. After taking in the scenic views, you retreat to a cozy cabin to warm up in front of a crackling fireplace. Glasses of red in hand, you retell old stories and make plans to explore the quaint boutiques downtown tomorrow. Sounds nice, doesn't it?
