Last weekend I left on Saturday to go to Florida through Tuesday. My sister was attending a training on Saturday so we spent that first night at a hotel in the airport after she finished her training. Sunday morning we rented a car and drove to Universal. My parents had given me tickets for my birthday. We later checked into our hotel (only a 5 minute drive from Universal) and then went to see Sisters and had dinner at Margaritaville. Monday we headed to Universal again and did the other park. I drove Rachel to the airport in the late afternoon and went back to Universal alone. Tuesday morning I spent some time at Sam's cousin Evelyn's school, where she is the Makerspace Coordinator. I then headed back to Universal for a few more hours. I went to the airport a few hours early to do some work on their wi-fi since our hotel wi-fi didn't work and my father picked me up at the airport at midnight. Thank you! All in all, it was a wonderful trip. It was cold (40 degrees!) but I had such a great time with Rachel and exploring a new theme park. We went on all of the rides, except for things like the Dr. Seuss elephants. ;) My favorite thing out of everything was warm Butterbeer. I had it three times, delicious! Thank you to Sam for making sure the kids and household ran smoothly. He had to deal with a rear window blown out of our car by a teenager with a BB gun. We still don't have the glass in it. Giant Glass was a fail, hopefully JN Phillips will come through tomorrow.
Hotel airport, we could see security check-in out of our window.

Butterbeer - Delicious!
109 dollars and the robe is yours.
It was difficult to buy the kids gifts, but I saw a great book for Amelia in Seuss Landing, so I ordered it from Amazon for half the price and it arrived at my house the same day I did. She loves it and has spent hours filling it out.
My Book About Me
The dragon blows fire at night. People stand for forever to try to catch it. I just got lucky as I was passing by one night, but I didn't get lucky enough to catch it on film.
