Start your day with a quick digest of today's top Central Florida headlines.
Good morning! I'm Patrick Connolly, a multimedia journalist with the Orlando Sentinel's Things to Do team. It's been a busy week with the inauguration of our 46th president, but now it's time to set our sights on the weekend, which should be a gorgeous one in Central Florida (other than a slight chance of rain Saturday). Take advantage of the Sunshine State's mild winter at Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs, the focal point of my second "Florida Fresh Air" story. This weekly series, publishing each Friday, highlights Central Florida parks, trails and green spaces that provide opportunities for social distancing while enjoying the great outdoors. For other weekend plans, consider a visit to Leu Gardens, where a dinosaur Invasion exhibit has returned with more than 20 life-size, realistic creatures spread throughout the garden's 50 acres.
