Something absolutely crazy happened last night…. IT RAINED. It literally has not rained here in…months. So it was an extremely welcomed change. Especially because it brought with it about 10°f cool weather, so we’ll finally be out of the 100s (for a few days anyway). It was not a bad ending to an already long

Yesterday was a day of firsts, and a day I enjoyed quite a bit. We walked from our hotel over to Islands of Adventure at 7:30am to be there when the park opened at 8. We got in line for the new roller coaster in the Harry Potter section of the park…Hargrids Motorbike Adventure. Even
Yesterday morning, as we were walking to the park, my husband sent me a picture of himself without a shirt on, showing me what is now a 6 pack he has going on. I proceeded to send him these pictures as a response. Because I can be cute too….or…something…. IF HE CAN BE CUTE, SO

Goooooood morning! Yesterday, was day 1 of my trip to Universal. We started our day off checking into our hotel (the Lowe’s Royal Pacific), and headed over to Islands of Adventure.
