road trip

Fall seems to be the season most of us think we'll start exercising to lose the summer excess but hold on, not so fast. You have to get a sack of donuts first.

Fall is a great time to do some road tripping. One of the best, most scenic rides is going north on Route 84 along the Illinois side of the Mississippi River.

There's a lot to be said for time spent sitting on the front porch. Fresh air, good conversation, and watching life as it goes by is a perfect way to spend a summer's day or evening.

Talk about a surprise. I was so shocked, I was like "Man, you need to know about this."

Time to hit the road for the ultimate fall road trip through Illinois.

Make the playlist, pack the snacks, it's time to hit the road this summer.

Grab some snacks, get everyone loaded into the car, and hit the open road. Is there anything better than some wholesome family time in the car? The music is loud, the snacks are flowing, the laughs are exploding from the back seat. It can truly be the best of times with the whole family...
