Our trip to Universal

As some of you know we took a trip to Universal Studios recently...here are some great pictures of the trip. AWESOME is the best word to describe it. We could have stayed another week! We arrived to the hotel (Loews Royal Pacific Resort) on our first day around 10:30 and since the room wasn't ready we dropped our bags at the bellhop and headed to the park! We went to Universal first. You can see the Wicked Stepsister there trying to cuddle with lil Phil. We went to Twister, the Mummy (Brendan Frasier was there that day too!), Jaws, and a few others I can't remember now. Then it started to cloud up so we headed back to the hotel, watched the rain, then hung out at the pool. We went to dinner inside the hotel then went to Islands of Adventure and rode Dueling Dragons, Dr. Dooms Fearfall, SpiderMan, and of course the Hulk! The next morning we grabbed the buffet in the hotel (YUMMY) and then headed back to I of A...Not only did we ride the Hulk 3 more times, and Dueling Dragons another 2 times, we also rode the Jurassic Park River Adventure, walked through Poseidon's Fury, and were almost eaten alive by Jaws! It started to cloud up again right around noon so we headed to where else but Margaritaville for lunch! And of course since it was still raining we HAD to go to the gift shop! hehehehe..yes, I got some new junk! We went back to the hotel after that and hung out at the pool...well, I take that back, Phil and the boys hung out in the pool, I hung out by the pool drinking LOL.
That night we ordered room service for the boys and locked them in while Phil and I to Bubba Gumps...delicious! They had the best "adult" lemonade I have ever had! And get this, Phil drank fruity drinks! Yes he did, I swear!
The next day it was time to head home but not until we got in another dose of Universal. We had to ride Men in Black (a homage to Morgan) and the new Simpsons ride which was absolutely incredible...and I'm NOT a Simpson's fan. After that we grabbed a quick bite, rode the Mummy again then headed back on our 7 hour drive. What a great time! Thanks Phil/dad for taking us!
I LOVE THIS PICTURE!
