We're back

11 days.... 6 parks.....10 throbbing feet.....

What a vacation!  The weather cooperated beautifully, we had a surprise visit from my parents for a couple of days, and we experienced everything we wanted to at Disney and Universal Studios....in fact I think we are Disney'd out..... sorry Disney Fans!  Really we are Disney'd out.  We had a great time but I don't see going back any time soon.

We rode the Tower of Terror over and over and over again....it never gets old...I could do that all day.  We sopped ourselves on the Popeye's BilgeRat Barges....best water raft ride EVER!  We had a delicious fresh meal at Mythos...so yummy...Universal definitely out does Disney on food.  We walked through Harry Potter's Hogsmeade time and time again, what a beautiful and magical place.  The boys played in an over sized playground at Honey I shrunk the Kids, we laughed our heads off at Monster's Inc Laugh floor and walked through the Tree of Life in awe of the beautiful carvings.  We experienced so many things in our time in Orlando and will remember it all fondly...except the blisters and sore feet and.....well maybe even those because we did it together.



Now I to subject you all to a small photo capture of our adventure.....

First stop Wizarding World of Harry Potter where the butter beer is delicious and on tap.

Hogwarts (Forbidden Journey ride...could of used the motion sickness bands on this one)

Eoin finds his wand at Olivander's....he was picked as part of the show and put on quite a show himself for Olivander.

One of my favourite views...the Tree of Life at Animal Kingdom, although Animal Kingdom is one of my least favourite parks it can't be beat in ambiance.

The line at Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom...one of Liam's favourite rides..
