Florida Themeparks

 After volleyball wrapped, we could play!  We had an afternoon with our favorites at Animal Kingdom, and then we moved to Universal Studios for one night/two days of parks.  We stayed at the Royal Pacific, which is the hotel we liked previously.  It's a very convenient walk to the parks for early admission.  Our first night we got rained out so didn't get to see the evening shows / fireworks I was hoping to finally see.   We ordered room service and vegged in front of the TV instead.   On the second day there was more rain before we had to head out.  We got in some good rides, but mostly good laughs about how drenched we were.  Luckily we could shower and change in the hotel gym before our flight home.  

New to us on this trip was the Velociraptor Coaster.  We road it front row and back row and then the guys road it some extra times while I wandered back to Hogsmeade for ice cream.   Doesn't look like I took too many photos....it was hot, we were tired, and it's cool but not Disney.   The End.
