Florida Vacation-13 &14

Day 13 &14
Islands of Adventure
Islands of Adventure was the perfect way to end our vacation. This park was THE BEST! We didn't have to wait in any lines, and the rides were awesome. We would go on the roller coasters, and figure out where the cameras were. Then we would ride a bunch more times and make faces at the cameras. When we got off the rides, we would run to see our pictures. Sawyer's faces were always the best.
The Hulk Roller Coaster was awesome. It was so big, I couldn't get a picture of all of it in one shot. We rode it tons of times. We also liked Dr. Doom's Fearfall, and Spiderman. We did two water rides in a row, thinking they would be stupid, and not expecting to get very wet. Boy were we wrong. There was not a dry spot left on any of us. It was so funny! Then it was off to ride Jurassic Park. We saw two shows...The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad, and Poseidon's Fury. They were both really good. They opened up the Dueling Dragons Roller Coasters in the middle of the day. They were AWESOME! They run two coasters at exactly the same time, and several times during the ride it seemed like they would collide. It was probably our favorite ride of the whole vacation. We loved it and rode it several times. The last part of the park was a place called Seuss Landing. It was a dArLinG Dr. Seuss land. Everything about it was so cute! They put so much detail into it.The Hulk

The bushes were carved like all kinds of Dr. Seuss characters.

We had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. Sawyer thought that was the coolest place.

The only downer of our vacation, was that we didn't get into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We went back to the park the next day, and waited for 2 hours, hoping to get in. It wasn't officially opening until June 18. They were only letting people in who were staying at one of their on site resorts. BUMMER! It looked so cool. We walked through part of it to get on a ride, but most of it was blocked off from view. I wanted to shop in Honeydukes and Zonkos so bad. We saw people coming out drinking butter bear and carrying pumpkin juice. I guess we'll just have to go back again someday.

Hogwarts

Hogsmead
That was the end of our vacation. It was great! I can't wait to think up where our next big trip will take us. We've already got some fun ideas brewing in our minds.

holy cow!! What an awesome vacation. It makes me want my kids to grow up fast so we can do something like that when they are all older. So glad you got to have such an awesome time!
