Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure

THE BIG DAY IS HERE!  We started it off right, with some Voodoo Donuts.  I'm so glad there is a Voodoo Donuts at Universal Citywalk.

Beware the fire breathing dragon y'all.


Then we made our way to King's Cross Station so that we could leave the London area.

I got a frozen butterbeer and a Shepard's pie.



After lunch, we made our way to Hogwarts.

I love the pensieve in Dumbledore's office.

When we were done with Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, we headed to Jurassic Park.

We were very happy to see the raptor. And the raptor was very happy to see us.

Now, we just need to go back again when the new Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure roller coaster opens later this summer and after the crazy line times die down.
