When we drove to Publix this afternoon there was a MINI that I of course had to park next to; we chatted to the owner for a short time and complimented each other’s car choices. After shopping, the MINI had gone and a much bigger vehicle had taken it’s place!
It’s unusual to have a big storm here in Florida in the “winter”, but we had one yesterday and it added at least 3″ to the pool – bringing it right to the brim!
We drove in to Orlando this afternoon, to watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in the Walt Disney Theater of the Dr Phillip’s Center, with a live orchestra – and it was just as epic as it sounds!
It’s quite amusing re-watching the first Harry Potter movie (it’s been a while since we last saw it), with such young stars. Mind you, many in the theater had obviously seen it many times, as there was lots of word-perfect narrative from the crowd; the orchestra conductor had encouraged everyone to join in, and they did, with cheers and boos according to character / school in the movie.
During the movie, it’s easy to forget the live orchestra – and then something particularly epic reminds you; I tried to spot instruments playing particular pieces, but it’s hard to do that!
Here’s a few photos before/after (not during, obviously!):
The navigation view in my MINI when we arrived was interesting too, with a “3D” Amway center:
