Although, I would be lying if I said it wouldn't be nice to get a break from Florida's warm weather. I was secretly looking forward to digging out some cute jackets that I never get the chance to wear ;) See you soon! Hope the weather holds up for my visit!

Invariably it was high on sunny days and low on rainy days. I didn't think there was this huge risk of spontaneous forest fires in dry weather, nor do I know how I should alter my behavior given the elevated warning level, but they insisted on putting it out just the same.
