Universal Studios: Harry Potter World

We got off the boat early Friday morning and drove over to Universal Studios to experience Harry Potter world.  We even made it there when they opened!  It was pretty amazing.
These three waited in line extra long so they could ride front row.
We had to experience butterbeer...
Abby liked it the most.
One of the longest line we stood in all day was to go into Ollivanders Wand shop.
And it all became worth it the moment Zachary was picked for the demonstration...
which of course meant we HAD to buy the wand.
After spending the morning in Harry Potter we headed out to explore other parts of the park.
Bret found a good place to take a little nap...
Bret and Mckenna are somewhere on this roller coaster.
Late afternoon we headed back to Harry Potter.  Lines were so short everywhere so the kids were able to ride their favorite rides multiple times back to back.  The girls bought some chocolate frogs at Honeydukes.
On our way back out to the car the kids rode the Jungle Cruiser....not knowing they were going to get this wet.  Abby, McKenna and Zach rode it a second time.  And then once they were nice and wet it was time to go home.
This was the end of our trip of a lifetime.  Saturday found us driving back home in the car with us all anxious and excited to reunite with Grayson.
