Fall. It’s the reason we all love Rhode Island. The leaves begin to change, the air gets cool and crisp and we all line up to pay twice as much for the privilege of picking our own apples. It’s just our way. And we’re all in. So, before winter sneaks up on us and has us pining for warmer climates while cursing under our icy breath, let’s soak up our favorite season. Make sure to save our Bucket List Bingo card and print one out to hang on the fridge. Your kids will love seeing how many times they get to yell “Bingo!”
