Harry Potter Pix

I was really impressed with how well the Hogsmead village was made and such. The detail was amazing and the castle was amazing. I was pointing out to Matt what some of the statues were and some neat things that only people who read the books would really know about. Yes, I know I am a nerd. The Butterbeer was AMAZING and Matt loved it. We got 3 of them because they were sooooo yummy. My only complaint is, yes Universal was going to specks by making all the stores just like how they are in the movie, very small and cramped, but they were VERY SMALL AND CRAMPED! I don't think Universal understood how many people would be in the stores at once. It was so difficult to get around some of the stores because it was just made tooo small. The ride inside the castle was amazing, and the dueling dragons ride was so fun too, and the Triwizard Cup was in there too and that was cool to see. I am excited for the next movie to come out.

Couple of things, I did get my chocolate frog with cool card, still haven't opened it yet. I did get a wand, it is Ginny's wand and I love it. It was just so much fun to be in Hogsmead and walk around the streets and see all the lopsided buildings. Enjoy the pix.

Our BIG Trip!

We are back! We are very well rested, relaxed and rejuvenated. I think everyone should do a 2 week or more vacation! Ours was 3 weeks long, but let me tell you, it was AMAZING! We spent 10 wonderful days in Orlando. 9 days were at Disney World and 1 day at Universal to check out the new HARRY POTTER Wizarding World! It was amazing. More on that latter. Then we rented a car and drove down to Miami and stayed there for 1 night, and we were upgraded to one of the suites in the hotel! The next day we then embarked on our Carnival Cruise to the Western Caribbean for a week. We also had to divert a hurricane on the cruise and the whole thing was great! Here are the pix that you all have been waiting for... I will post them on the next post up. Check it out!
