How cool is Orlando?

So I've given Florida a lot of flack in my 13 years here.  Too hot in the summer, not cold enough in the winter, too many bugs, yada yada yada . . .  But since moving to Orlando I have rethought a lot of this.  While all my friends in Missouri and family in Massachusetts have had horrible blizzards that have kept them homebound for days at a time we were at the park with friends in t-shirts and shorts.  We are able to eat lunch and dinner outside in almost every month and there are actually less bugs here than there were in Tallahassee . . .  And now, the space shuttle.  We're not that close and the picture is not that great, but still.

Both pictures taken from my front yard.  How freakin' cool is that?
