Hi, friends! Itâs Brenda, back in your inbox for all the Central Florida Happenings.
I had the best time at Animal Kingdom this past weekend, seeing all the animals (CORRA THE BABY ELEPHANT) and hanging out with a friend (former In the Loop writer, Landon!!!). It was so much fun.
Was I unwell for a bit because of the insane heat? Yes. But we made it đȘ.
While this weekend wonât be as hot as last and will be a little more rainy, there are still things to get to.
Hereâs whatâs happening —ïž
