Florida doesn’t really experience the changing of the leaves or a drop in temperature. The best you’ll get in October is high 60’s at 8 AM and low 80’s throughout the day. Nonetheless, we still make the best of it with fall drinks, movies, books, TV shows, and activities. To celebrate all things fall, I’ve put together some recommendations to enjoy during this pumpkin season.
