Wewahitchka, Florida. Have you ever heard of this town? Can you even pronounce it? Mrs. Funmeister and I decided to stop waiting for "when." So we began looking for places and things to enjoy "now." That, despite a small budget and a limited amount of time.One of our initial forays has been to Florida's Tupelo Honey Festival.
