Not sure who was playing here, but as you can see we were hot, sweaty, probably a little wet from the rain and pretty tired at this point, but still having a blast!
We finally got to see what all the hype was about with the new Harry Potter World! The 'Dragon Challenge' (formerly Dueling Dragons) was definitely my favorite roller coaster between both parks! And, the lines were so short when we first got there the first morning that we were able to ride it twice back to back! We went on the indoor Harry Potter ride right after and that definitely made me feel a little queasy : / I'm slowly learning it's no fun getting old! I used to be able to ride anything I wanted as many times as I wanted and have no problem, and now one or two rides in and I'm feeling queasy and nauseous! lol Oh well, it was fun anyways!
We also got to try the yummy butterbeer! And, for those of you that know us, you know we don't drink, so these were completely non-alcoholic drinks, but are so named after the drink in the Harry Potter books! This was one of my favorite pics from the trip, with the random security guard photobombing our picture!
My hubby is a huge Grinch fan, so this was a favorite area :)
As you can see, he had fun with the many hats and plentiful Grinch paraphernalia :)
And look who even came out to visit on our last day there! Ofcourse, Kaleb had to have a picture with The Grinch! :)
There were so many great thought bubbles all over comic land and we had to get a picture with almost every one of them! This was one of my favs ;)
We got to spend the day with 2 of our good friends' parents on our last day there! Their parents are super sweet and let us stay at their house in Tampa our first and last nights of our trip. We stayed in Orlando the rest of the time we were there so we'd be close to the parks! As you can see, it rained most of the last day there, but we didn't let that stop us! Nothing a little poncho action couldn't take care of, and besides, rainy days are great days to go to theme parks because there's hardly anyone else there and the lines are non-existent!
I love Jurassic Park, probably a little too much, so this was a necessary picture, and obviously I don't do 'scared face' very well :)
I had a caricature done of me when I was in high school on a band trip in San Antonio to Six Flags, but Kaleb had never had one done, so this was our first caricature done together :) I think it turned out pretty darn cute!
Then, ofcourse, there's the obligatory picture with the giant spinning Universal Studios globe. One to add to the collection :)
And this is probably my absolute most favorite picture from the whole trip. We were going for the whole air guitar shot with the Rock the Universe sign above us, and this one just turned out fantastic!
Anyways, trips always make me happy, especially when there's awesome music and roller coasters involved. I love getting to do fun things with my awesome hubby and friends and had a blast this past weekend and wanted to share with y'all our fun adventure!
Happy blogging and happy adventuring,
Katie :)
