And the “snow fall”:
The “ice” staking rink is open now on Bloom St. There was a free preview today for Celebration residents. The rink will be open daily from 4-10pm through January 3rd, and skating is available on the half-hour.
Catching up on a few random things.
Have I mentioned that I like Thai Thani? This is from the night before their grand opening / open house.
The “ice” is down in front of Shannon’s et al. Better pictures to follow once it cranks up.
Thai Thani will be having their grand opening on November 23, from 4-7pm. According to manager Nat, they will have at least 10 different types of free food to sample, close-up magic, Thai dancers, and more.
Thai Thani is at 600 Market Street in downtown Celebration.
One of many great things about being back in central Florida instead of SE Pennsylvania is the proximity to Kennedy Space Center. With the Space Shuttle program wrapping up soon (only a few more launches!) we decided yesterday was a good chance to catch a launch.
So off to Cape Canaveral we went!
We were the second-to-last car allowed into the Jetty Park parking lot (if you don’t make it into that lot, it’s a looooong walk) and found a great little patch of grass to set out a blanket and baby on and chill as a family. Since it was an early afternoon launch, afterwards we stuck around the park for awhile and went for a nice walk on the beach. This had the added bonus of allowing the murderous post-launch traffic to die out some.
Hooray for spontaneous jaunts and close proximity!
Had the good fortune of attending a lovely wedding this afternoon, followed by a reception at the Town Tavern’s new outdoor bar area.
They did a nice job! I’ll be interested to see it when it’s not set up for an event.
