Mon, Aug 1

Catching the sunrise on the way to Orlando.

The heat...insane.

Good thing Universal's air conditioning game is top notch.

Oh yeah, we went to Universal Studios Florida.

Diagon Alley was probably the best part.

It was super funny cause we couldn't find it at first and walked right past it because it was hidden.

There wasn't even any signs, you're supposed to just walk in between brick walls (as if you were going through the wall at the train platform!)

And when you get to the other side, it's super lively.

 

Butterbeer and Fishy Green Ale (which had popping boba!).

Souvenirs: the Deathly Hallows hat, Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, and Chocolate Frog!

Also went to the Simpson's and had lunch at Moe's.

Went to Men in Black for the interactive ride (which I was terrible at and had almost the worst score).

Lastly went to Fear Factor Live for the show.

It was actually really good and funny.

Then went back to the resort to go to the pool!

I don't have any great pictures...
We decided we didn't want to go to Disney World so we went to Clearwater Beach near Tampa instead.

Since it's the gulf, there's no waves so the water was pretty still and warm.
And pretty clear, too!
I saw some teeny fish swimming in the water, too.

Wow, really should have taken photos this day.

We also went to Disney Springs that night to "take pictures".

Just walked around and did a little shopping.
