Comment on my trip to Hogwarts.....
Last month I took a little trip to Orlando with my little bro and SIL (aka Jenny aka the one who has my name) to visit our parents and to go visit some parks. As my facebook friends know, I was sick most of the trip, so I missed out on a few things. But I did manage to rally for Universal Studios Islands of Adventure so that I could experience Harry Potter The Forbidden Journey aka Harry Potter World (as I like to call it).
All I can say is it was awesome. The Butterbeer was the nectar of the gods (the frozen is way better than the regular) and totally worth the $10 to get the official Butterbeer mug. The actual Forbidden Journey ride was more than I could have hoped for. You get to walk through Hogwarts and experience the inside of the school. They actually have the pictures on the wall that move and jump from frame to frame! I tried to get pictures but they turned out too dark. I guess muggle cameras don't work for magical pictures. The Dueling Dragons roller coaster made me so sick, but Jenny and DJ loved it and rode both dragons. Eating lunch at the Three Broomsticks was an experience of a lifetime. Best fish and chips since, well, visiting England at Epcot Center. It was also fun to buy postcards and get them postmarked for Hogsmeade and to get Harry Potter stamps. All in all it was completely worth it, especially if you're a Harry Potter fan.
The rest of the Islands of Adventure was a blast as well. We got absolutely SOAKED from all of the log-type rides. It was so fabulous. I would definitely go again, just for those rides. And since it was September it wasn't that busy. And my mom got us the express passes (the equivalent of fast passes for Disney only they are so much better-but they cost $20) so we didn't wait in any lines at all! (thanks Mom!).
So here are the pics from Harry Potter, placed in a slide show for your viewing convenience:

Why Wednesday
I've decided to start "Why Wednesdays". I'll post a picture(s)* of something absolutely ridiculous that requires no comment, as the pictures speaks for itself, and causes us to ask ourselves, why?
