Another day for a double post is here. First, it is Pink saturday hosted by Beverly at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/. Go and tour Beverly's blog and all her participants' and you will see so many pretty pinks.
For today, I would like to show you our pink Malaysian orchids.I really like them because the flowers look so unusual.
Well, Saturday is also our sightseeing day so please stick around. If you want to join, I will have Mr. Linky down below. Just add your name and your permalink and please copy the SS button unto your blog.
Would you like to go to a little town in Florida that was developed by Disney? The town is called Celebration and naturally, it is located near Orlando.After arriving from a cruise in Port Canaveral, we decide to go to Celebration and have lunch there. I lived in FL for 25 years before moving to MS but I have never been here until John decided to drive through there.
I am so glad we went there cause it is such a charming town. Just look at that bear topiary right outside a doll shop.
It was summer but I had a great time browsing through this Christmas store.
Right across the restaurant where we ate was this spectacular water view.
And of course AJ and John had to relax after eating.
I love the crape myrtles that line the streets.
A wet deck in a public area where kids can enjoy especially when it is hot.
A lot of people just take bikes around the little town.
and they have these cute little vehicles for rent too that will take you around town.
If you live here, you never have to leave this community cause they have everything, banks, playground, community hall, quaint shops and boutiques, restaurants and they even have their own movie theater.
Beautiful Lilies
Not sure what this building is but it looks interesting.
same with this one.
Beautiful homes.
Abundance of greenery.
I hope you enjoyed the tour of Celebration, FL. Thank you all for coming along!

Oh Christine, what a great little town. The shops and the scenery are just stunning, and the homes are beautiful. What a wonderful place to live. Thanks for the great tour. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteChristine! Celebration is my favorite place!!! We looked at homes there, but since we lived in Winter Park near my son's school, it was a tough decision. We had friends there, though and visited often. My son's friend from LHPS lived there. I still dream about it. To me, it is perfect. A NEV to get around in and everything at hand. I believe it was the Columbia restaurant where we always ate. At Halloween, the kids could just trick or treat while we sat at the restaurant. Thanks for bringing back such great memories.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing this lovely town! It would be wonderful to live in such a lovely place and have all the shops! lol I love the Christmas shop! The building are really neat looking!
ReplyDeleteI had a great time meeting you and John today. A very fun day for me! I hope you all had fun eating the fish tonight! I'll email you my info later, I off to bed soon.
Great place. I love Disneyland.I been to Disney World. I'm not sure if I been here. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Christine! I hope you've been doing well. Love your pictures in Celebration. We went to Disney in April, and I was amazed by the topiaries. Your orchid is beautiful too. Love the photo of the butterfly at the top. It's gorgeous!
