After driving for the better part of two whole days... we were ready to get to the fun Florida had in store for us!
Day 1: Universal's Islands of Adventure
Ready for day one!
Honestly, I was most excited for this day myself. If you know me, you know I've been an avid Harry Potter fan since I was in 6th grade. When we were in London, my birthday present was to go to Harry Potter Studios - see that adventure here. So I was naturally very excited to visit Harry Potter World!
The Hogwarts Express!
Frozen butterbeer with these sweet girls - the best!
The ride is inside the castle, and even though I thought it would be cool, it really did blow me away with how good it was. If you ever get a chance to go - do it! Even if the line is long, it is so worth it, and a lot of the line is part of the "attraction".
Next, we headed to meet up with Chloe and Anthony at Jurassic Park. Chloe has always loved dinosaurs, and this was a lot of fun.
Just makin' dinosaurs...
We had such pretty weather - even if it was a little warm!
The Hulk - such a fun ride. The girls were too small for this one, but Anthony and I enjoyed it!
We all got to go on this one, and it was also more impressive than I imagined it would be!
And then really wanted to play in the water! Anthony and the girls went on this one while Mom and I headed back to Harry Potter world to ride Dragon Challenge.
It was a full first day, but we had so much fun at Islands of Adventure! We headed home only when the park closed and got ready to do it all over again the next day!
