UNIVERSAL’S ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE, FLORIDA

January 2012 in Florida.….

What better place to escape the Midwest’s blustery January days than Florida? Even though very wonderful – there was a strange side effect to being there. Having lived in the Midwest all my life, I couldn’t help but to feel a little out of sorts every time I’d look at the calendar, see that it said January and yet it was 75 degrees outside and I was weaing a t-shrt and shorts. Somehow, I managed to deal with it. : )

I was also happy to have all of my kids come to visit. But what do you do to entertain five grown children? Well, you all jump in the car(s) and head to the city of Orlando and visit Universal’s Islands of Adventure and then take a walk down memory lane and visit Disney’s Magic Kingdom of course! The photos in this posting are from Islands of Adventure where Harry Potters’s Wizarding World was a big hit ( although VERY crowded) but my favorite was Dr Seuss’ Landing and Toon Lagoon.
