A view of Hogwart's at night.

This is Hogwarts from a distance. Inside is a great ride where you fly around and become part of the scenes from the Harry Potter movies. It was really fun and quite long. The walk to the ride is through the castle where you see Dumbledore taking to Harry about memories, Ron, Hermoine, and Harry talking to the audience (animatronics) about being careful, there is a talking sorting hat and many other areas of the Hogwarts location. This stands above everything else, a bit like Cinderella's Castle in the Magic Kingdom.

In Universal Studios "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" is a new land of adventure. I felt like I was walking on the movie set! It was realistic and very crowded. Even the shops had long long lines of about 45-60 minute wait to get in. The restaurant was overbooked with reservations days in advance. No wonder it is a bit hit with Potter fans.

Kim and Barbara made this tv dinner for us! Actually it is a 6 pack of cupcakes made to look like chicken legs, peas and carrots, mashed potatoes and chocolate pudding dessert. It came out great! Now Barb wants to make everything in the cupcake book!! She is quite good at creative cooking.

We passed this car on International Drive by Sea World and were in shock! I have never seen so many trinkets glued to a car before!

We always try to take a family photo when many of us are together.

This is our condo in Orlando. It is a BlueGreen Resort called The Fountains. This was probably one of the nicest resorts I have traded to through RCI. It was a 2 bedroom, and could hold 8 people. We had seven, Grandparents, John, Kim, Alex, Barb and me. It was only about 2 miles south of Sea World and a perfect location for what we wanted to do. We could see fireworks from Sea World from here, but we chose to go to Downtown Disney for their fireworks show. BUT it rained all day and was quite overcast, so the Disney fireworks were cancelled. BUT the fireworks from Sea World were not and we missed them. But we ahd fun at downtown Disney walking around.
