Harry Potter Land!!

Yes, like most people I love Harry Potter! Which is my only justification for going to a theme park 8 plus months pregnant in the middle of the summer! It was so hot, 98 degrees! Luckily Mike and I rented a power wheel chair which made life great! My parents came with us so it was really fun. My overall assessment was that the shops and things they have to offer are really great but in a whole the area is very small and most of the places are just fake stores you can't actually go into. Still it was really fun!

Because of the prego restrictions I wasn't allowed on the ride in the castle. So I sent Mike to check it out because he had to let me know how it was. He said the ride was really awesome and of course we will go back once our baby decides he wants to come out. I did however do the castle tour which let me see inside. It was really well done. I wish they had a place to eat in there!

Waiting outside the three broomsticks! The food most of it was actually very good just not a huge portion. And order a lot of butter beer that was amazingly tasty but VERY sweet!




We stopped at Olivander's first because the line was insane luckily because we stayed at one of the Universal hotels they let you into the park an hour early so it wasn't bad for us! We did get wands :) I know we are cheesy!

Words cannot describe my jealousness! It looks soooo awesome! oh my gosh! I can't wait to try the butterbeer! Sad to hear its too small. If that's not the worlds largest oversight!!!

I'm jealous about a couple of things:

1. I want to go so bad!
2. I want to know what butterbeer tastes like!
3. How are you so dang skinny/look so good while you're pregnant? If that was me, I'd be fat and sweaty like a butterball.

Hey I sent out text messages to see if anyone wanted to go with me. By the way the butter beer tastes like sweet cream soda with other yummy stuff in it. Get the frozen one it's sooo good it's like a slurpee. Not trying to rub it in, just seriously go try it! It is small very dissapointing but totally worth it.
