But, honestly, it gives you a chance to simply enjoy the company of friends and family while playing a competitive leisurely game of “golf.” If you are not familiar with TopGolf, it is basically a multi-level driving…
Sunflowers make me smile, for obvious reasons, so when I heard about a sunflower maze about an hour away from Orlando, I knew I had to check it out. Down a narrow dirt path in Mims, Florida you will find yourself at Sledd’s U-Pick Strawberries. The sprawling yellow fields can’t be missed as you drive up.
