Christmas in Florida

Again its been a few days since I did an update, so just to get us all up to date ......

Wednesday
We spent most of the day at the Prime Outlet Mall (it used to be called Belz)...it was a lovely day with temperatures well into the 80's F ....

It got really busy later in the day with lots of people doing their last minute Christmas shopping... its quite nice not to be involved in all that while we are on holiday. There were even TV crews there filming the size of the crowds...

One strange thing to notice is the dress code adopted by the team...you will see Denise in a T-shirt, Emma in a T-shirt, Maureen..... well judge for yourself, but she did remove the scarf and hat about half way through the day!

Great news on the ongoing trials with the Nag-Nav system... we have now improved the system with a full duplex, resilient, and scalable solution..... it now means that if the first system fails (Code named - Maureen), the secondary system (code name - Denise) takes over...... we think this will be a big seller... all you need to do is to keep taking the two Nag-Nav units to the shops, and letting them buy lots of reduced Christmas cards!

Thursday (Christmas Day)
We decided to be a little unusual on Christmas day, and headed off to Blizzard Beach Water Theme Park for the day.

It was really quiet there, which meant it was really great for getting on all the various rides and attractions... we must have gone on the Team Boat Springs (Family Raft Ride) about 5 or 6 times!


As usual we spent quite some time floating round the "Cross Country Creek" and spent a whole day in the park.

I know what you are all thinking...what did you have for Christmas Lunch? We had Philly Cheese Steak Rolls with Chips and Emma had Pizza :)


Friday
We spent most of the day at "Florida Mall" wandering round the shops, and looking for the odd bargain :)
Maureen managed to find someone to chat too (strangely called Maureen!!), and between them, the girls managed to buy 12 boxes of Christmas cards each!!

Emma got a hug from a giant M&M
