We’ve got that fall feeling in our toes. And that’s probably because the weather finally cooled but we’re still in sandals.
The pumpkin spice latte is back and plentiful, Publix has pumpkins and cinnamon brooms for sale, and the weather is… well it’s trying to keep cool. November might be the last sane month before the ramp up to Christmas, New Years, and the crazy, fun rush that the end of the year brings.
To help you enjoy the Season, we’ve got a Fall Bucket List perfect for exploring Central Florida. Check out our list below for fun things to do, must drink fall coffees, and all the sweet treats you can handle. Tag us in your adventures, #momlandoexplores
