Harry Potter

Wednesday, June 30, 2010




Let me say that it was so hot in Florida! We thought we would get lots of pictures from this trip but it turned out to be too hot to even stand still to take pictures or it would pour buckets of water... I didn't want to get the camera wet. We had a blast! My mom earned this trip for four and I tagged along.

The first day someone that my mom knows told us that although The Harry Potter theme park was not supposed to have it's grand opening until the 18th of June they had a soft opening. This was the Park all of us wanted to go to so bad.I'm not embarrassed to admit I love all things Harry Potter. Universal Parks are meant for "older Kids" so this was the park that almost every ride is so amazing. The Harry Potter park is located in Universal's Island of Adventure. Some of the many things we loved was tasting frozen/regular Butter Beer and Pumpkin Juice. The Harry potter Castle was just like the movie and had an awesome ride in it. We ate in Hogsmede it was YUCKY. The Boys and my Mom loved the Flight of the Dragon ride.After we had our fill of Harry Potter we rode more fun rides in Island of Adventure before calling it a day. It's hard really to tell you which parks we did the other days since we had a park hopper and could go to any of Disney's Theme Parks. We did Disney World,Epcot,Disney's Hollywood Studios, The Animal Kingdom, and one of the water parks Blizzard beach. Some of the favorite rides were Splash Mountain (I didn't get to ride most of them), the tower of terror, Peter Pan, the safari ride, Rollin' Roller Coaster. I personally loved the lazy river it was so relaxing. We ate lots of ice cream and walked about 6 to 8 miles a day. It was so hot I'm talking a 110 degrees. My mom spent some time by the pool while the rest of us wimps fled to the air conditioned hotel room. It was super fun but by the end of the trip everyone was ready to go home.
. For some reason my mom is only in one picture we do have other camera's with pictures but if you look behind Peter you will see her in the red. We really should have gotten more of her since with out her hard work we wouldn't have been able to enjoy this trip.

I was not Planning on putting up any pictures of me pregnant so enjoy the one picture above.

I am so jealous of the Harry Potter theme park! One day we will have to go back together! You do look great, and I am sorry you didn't get to go on the rides because of your "condition". Haha! I miss you, I love you, and try not to do too much work while you are at home!
