Clearly, this photo is not from today since strong storms rolled through the state and caused some major damage in some parts.

BUT, I snapped this picture over the weekend at the Southern Hill Farms Fall Festival at sunset! It was my first time out there and it was more than I imagined. The food, the rides and corn maze were all parts of a wonderful few hours I spent there.

If you haven’t taken the trip, I highly recommend!

And if it’s a bit too far, here’s what else you can check out ⤵️

While the weather this week has been a roller coaster, this weekend should be a bit better and usher in a cold front that will drop temps!

We’re well into the fall season, and more festivals/mazes are opening this weekend.

Enjoy the sunflower fields, hay rides, carnival rides and more at different festivals throughout Central Florida 🎡.

As someone who just visited my first fall festival, I can say it is something I think you should do at least once this season!
