Last Florida Days

The last 3 days in Florida were nothing short of fun!  Sunday we went to church, took naps, had a delicious dinner of quinoa salad and grilled salmon and did some relaxing at Pams.  Of course we have munched on strawberries too!  Monday morning we were up early to head to Universal Studios and Harry Potter Land!  Mom has been wanting to go to Harry Potter Land since they opened.  It was a  beautiful day!  Universal Studios isn't as exciting as Disney, but it was still fun!  When we first walked in there was a huge crazy roller coaster which I told Pam we were going to ride and indeed we did; only once.  It was the Hulk Hogan roller coaster.  We felt sick even before getting on it.  I loved Dr. Seuss Land, but the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was rather awesome.  It felt just like we were in the movie, even though I've only seen the first 2 1/2 movies.  The best part was the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride, which was like you were on a broom stick flying around and through the castle with Harry Potter himself!  I was sad that at the train station there wasn't a sign that said platform 9 3/4.  For lunch we ate at 3 Brooms where we had the great feast platter and frozen butterbeer; I loved the butterbeer!  We also ventured into other parts of the park, but Dr. Seuss Land and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter were our favorite!
Our last day in Florida we stopped by the Strawberry farm so dad could have one last strawberry shortcake and to get some baking chocolate for mom.  Epcot was so great we had to stop by for a few more hours to get some souvenirs and to have lunch at the French Bakery.
Of course we had to see Belle, but the line was too long so we just snuck a picture or two.  We had such a wonderful week with Pam, baby Morgan and Disney!  Until next time Disney!
