Helicopter rides and Snow...

In Florida you say? Why, yes!!

But first a helicopter ride over the Orlando attractions with mom. She and I have been wanting to take a ride for a couple of years now, but never seemed to get around to it. Until today that is! 

Matt, the pilot, of course getting in the picture *grin*

After our flight I took mom to Celebration, FL. a town that is owned by Disney... imagine being in the Stepford Wives or the Truman Show. This is something we have also been wanting to do for a couple of years and since it is 5 minutes from the Helicopter place I figured it was a great time to go. They sure do know how to do Christmas in this town though.

At 6, 7, 8, and 9pm it "snows" on Market Street. Of course it is Disney snow so it is not real but it is still very fun and a sight to see.

We played in the snow for a little bit and then ventured off to have dinner!

 

Dinner was at a diner style restaurant right on Market Street in Celebration... since it was mom's night I let her choose. She loves home cooking so she went with the pot pie. I love home cooking as well but decided to go for the herb crusted chicken. Both washed down with IBC rootbeer in the bottle.

After dinner we took a drive around the town to look at all of the beautifully lit houses. I told you these people know how to do Christmas just look at the house below...

These folks were playing A Christmas Story on the side of their house, had a life size Ralphy cut out in his pink bunny suit, and A Christmas Story themed Christmas tree topped with of course the leg lamp. The houses were all gorgeous in their own way and really lit up the town. The rest you will just have to go see for yourselves *wink*

This was an early Christmas gift for mom.
We both had a wonderful time. I could not ask for a better mom.
Christmas is a time for giving. I wanted to give her a nice time out while doing something we both have been wanting to do.
We finally got to mark two things off our list.
The *snow* is sort of a soapy foam, yet still fun!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
