Celebrate good times
As I indicated weeks earlier on this very blog, I spent this year’s Christmas in Florida. Remarkably, I was in Florida again last week, although this time, no blog posts were written. To make up for this dangerous lack of 2008 Florida-blogging, here are some pictures from a lunch stop I made in Celebration, Flordia, a planned community built in the late 90’s by Disney.
In truth, this lunch stop occurred during last month’s Florida visit. After I took these pictures, I was all set to write a pre-Christmas post entitled “Celebrate good times”, but then Jessica’s family proved too entertaining to spend my time dorking it up on my blog. Also, I think I wasted a bunch of time writing an even nerdier blog post about gas milage.
Anywhoo, here are the photos. Over all I found Celebration a surprisingly pleasant place to walk around. The downtown area is next to a lovely manmade lake, and there is ample parking for these GEM electric golf cart things the locals supposedly drive around. They also have a mini GEM-powered train for small children, and even better, a policy of filling main street with a thick layer of foam for these same small children to play in. Maybe the foam is a Christmas thing, because I took it as the Florida version of a snowball fight.
If you’d like to see what other planned communities Florida has to offer, I recommend you watch The Truman Show which is set in Seaside, Florida, which in turn is not set inside of a giant dome (as the movie would have you believe).
