Happy Holidays from Ft. Lauderdale Beach

Since our holiday plans for having Christmas dinner with family got
cancelled due to several unfortunate circumstances, we decided to head
south for a few days.

The Dig Site at Coronado Springs

This pool looks like an old Mayan ruin with a waterslide that starts
at the top of the pyramid. Various excavation implements and large
log-poles with floodlights strung about really nail the theme and make
you think you've just happened on a recently discovered jungle temple.

Coronado Springs Resort at WDW

Today was in the mid-80s so I spent the afternoon at Blizzard Beach.
Afterwards, I toured the closest resort called Coronado Springs. It
has it's own convention center and one of the coolest pools on
property called The Dig Site.

Chip's company Christmas Party was last night at CityWalk. We spent
the night here and are now heading into the theme parks.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Tired of turkey?

We recommend the Southern Italian Stromboli from Kelsey's in
Titusville. It's our favorite stop-off on our way home from Alabama.

Golden Rain Tree

This tree was all yellow blossoms a few weeks ago. Now there is only
1 branch left with yellow flowers turning into the pinkish bracts
which will stay that way thru fall.
