Luckily we married in October so our celebration trips, which we manage to squeeze in every year, are in the fall...the best season. 
Today James agreed to hike up to Hanging Rock Raptor Observatory in Monroe County, WV.
I don't think he loves hiking, but fortunately he does love me. It was a briskly, chilly, sunny day - perfect for hiking. It's a short 0.9 mile hike, but ascends to 3,800 feet.
It was worth every rocky step and shortage of breath when we reached the top. 
The view was spectacular, although we saw no raptors. There were some serious bird watchers in the tower, but I think you'd have to have a bit more patience than me to see an eagle or hawk. I thought James was cuter than the birds anyway.
