Month of September

September has always held fond memories of me growing up. It was the end of Summer, the beginning of Fall, and our time to head Back-to-School.

While San Diego is not known for experiencing season as they do in other parts of the country, we had our fair share of Fall leaves, apple stamping, and Indian corn.

We would head to the local mountains to go apple picking, sip on apple cider and see the gorgeous fall leaves turn incredible shades of reds and oranges.
