Big, bright, and flat. But look how the wing of the plane is turned up at the end. That's pretty cool.

We decided to go for a walk around Lakewood to check out the area. It turns out that Tomorrow's City Today is not exactly designed with pedestrians in mind.

It took us three hours, and it was one of the weirdest walks I've ever been on. Hopefully the Day After Tomorrow's City will be a little bit more aesthetically pleasing.

Fiona tears into a chocolate dipped strawberry. This candy shop is absolutely ridiculous, I mean, just look at the size of that berry! It's almost as big as my wife's head.
