Honestly, I live for beautiful sunsets and the peace only a summer night can bring 😌. Isn’t it the best? Shoutout to PinIt! user Joe Bavuso for sharing this gorgeous view from Ocala.

Here’s what is happening this weekend ⤵️
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 1999 🎵
Starting tonight, the ‘90s Night Market is taking over Founders Square in downtown Avalon Park.
The market will feature music, food and drink specials, local vendors and even a themed Zumba class 🕺 (yes, this emoji looks more ‘70s-era, but I was limited by my options).
The market and nostalgia are free, but some activities will cost an additional fee. Click here to learn more.
One of my all-time favorite movies is “Jurassic Park.” It’s simply the best, I don’t make the rules.
And now, those on the coast can have their moment with the dinos 🦖.
Take a step back in time with Jurassic Quest this weekend in Daytona Beach and admire the giants that once walked the Earth.
While you can of course enjoy “true-to-life size dinosaurs,” BUT you can also take your family for some egg-citing crafts and meet baby dinos 🥚!
