Ahhh, fall. The weather is more temperate, the kids are back in school, things fall (ha! see what I did there?) into a more predictable routine. It’s the perfect time for a getaway!
One of the things Yankee Bill and I like to do in the fall is to head north and hit the NY Finger Lakes Wine trails with some friends. We pack along a ton of snacks to “tailgate” along the way (wine tasting at 6 or 7 venues without any food is a really, really dumb idea), enjoy the scenery, have fun with friends and sometimes come home a few cases of wine richer. . .
Even a simple day trip fall giveaway can cost you a pretty penny these days (especially if you come home with a few cases of wine), so extra cash is always welcome. Heck, with back to school shopping, sports events/clubs for the kids, Halloween (don’t even ask me how much I spend on candy with over 100 trick o treaters every year), and then the whole holiday season, who couldn’t use some extra cash this time of year even if they are NOT planning on an autumn getaway?
That’s why I decided to participate in this giveaway–so that my readers could have a chance at an excellent Paypal Cash or Amazon Giftcard prize! That’s right, I chipped in my own $$ to help fund this giveaway totaling $1250! There will be three lucky winners in this giveaway–Two will each win $500 and one will win $250 in either PayPal cash or Amazon Giftcards!

I’d use it towards taking my kids to New Hampshire again in the winter. We went last year specifically because none of my kids have ever seen snow, our luck was that the week we were there, there was no snow….so I’d love to try again….we did have so much fun up there thought, it is beautiful.
