We ate Universal Studios as soon as we arrived - P had pizza, I had nachos - one of our cheaper sit down lunches! Then we headed to Ripsaw Falls where we got very wet on this log ride! This was the ride that was shut down two days ago due to lightning as we were about to step into the boat. One more ride on the boat through Jurassic Park before we headed to Hogsmeade in Harry Potter land.
That is Hogwart's Castle in the background - what an impressive sight!
Of course no visit to the Three Broomsticks is complete without the amazingly delicious Butterbeer! I wish I could replicate that at home!
We then took the Hogwart's Express the other direction today - from Hogsmeade to Diagon Alley. Different sights (movies) to see out the window from the reverse direction.
This is P posing outside Honeydukes Sweet Shop with some oversized Every Flavour Beans!
We enjoyed the amazing ride Escape from Gringotts. Rain followed us again today - not as heavy as last time at Universal - but it still required a raincoat to keep dry!
We headed home on the bus and ate supper on the patio - roast turkey dinner for me and buffalo wings for P. He then did some math and science homework (with a few minutes of help from J while he was in the room).
Now we are watching Survivor and will need to pack up our belongings tonight! We will catch a taxi to the airport tomorrow morning!
