Our first stop on our vacation was Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure! Mira was so excited to get to see The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (and so was I!). We spent most of our time there and at Dr. Suess Landing (which Amelia really loved!).
Here we are at the entrance to the park:
Here is the Hogwarts Castle. It's such an impressive sight to see in person!
Mira got a photo in front of the Hogwarts train!
Inside Hogwarts Castle. It's the sorting hat!
A wand duel! Mira bought Ron Weasley's and Amelia opted for Hermione Granger's wand. Me? I was gunning for Sirius Blacks' wand!
Mmmm! Butterbeer! What a delicious drink that I think they got just right. We had the frozen, which we heard was better, and it didn't disappoint. Tasted like a butterscotch slurpee with cream on top!
We were able to see the Grinchmas show. It was really good and not too long. Let us sit out of the heat for a little while and rest.
Amelia met Thing 1 and Thing 2, which she was really excited about since she bought their stuffed toy with her spending money.
Sam-I-Am and Mira:
Mira and Amelia and the Cat in the Hat. We rode his ride a couple times!
Mira with the conductor of the Hogwarts Express.
The girls with the cast of Grinchmas!
The girls met Betty Boop! They had never heard of her, but I told them that Grandma Martha liked her when she was younger, so they took a picture with her for Grandma:
Our trip to Islands of Adventure was great fun! Next, our Royal Caribbean Cruise!
