                     Even more brief notes about a store

Again, I got up at some ungodly hour of the morning where we all proceeded to
Perkins [1] for breakfast, followed by a trip to the Lego Store [2].

[And yes, that velociraptor is made out of Lego bricks] [3]


Unfortunately, I did not get any shots inside the store, as I was too busy
drooling over all the sets for sale (I was particularly drooling over the
Emerald Night Train set [4]), and marvelling at a camera/video display they
had set up. You could hold up a box of a kit to the camera, and on the video
display, you could see yourself holding up the box, but the system would then
add a 3D rendering of the kit on the box you were holding. And as you rotated
the box around, the the 3D rendering would rotate with the box (and a few
kits were even animated, like the Emerald Night Train).

Wow.

A few hours there, then we all started the drive back from Orlando.
