Haa haa haa, Jack and I are headed for Universal Studios today for fun in the sun.

Looking forward to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter of course! Having been a fan of HP since reading to the kids when they were younger (we would get the new book and all read together so no one had to wait on the other one to finish reading it first!), it is definitely a must see.

After a bus trip in reasonable LA traffic we made it to the park and were able to get through easily and quickly.

We headed for Harry Potter World first, visiting the 9 3/4 platform for Hogwarts and on to the ride. Wow! Even Jack thoroughly enjoyed the ride and he hasn’t even seen the movies or knows the books!

From there it was through the park and to the lower lot, hitting the Jurassic Park ride with its 84ft drop off the waterfall and then the Transformers 3D ride. Sensational!

We saw the special effects show, the animal actors and the Waterworld show was spectacular! Heaps of special effects and stunts.

We lucked it at every turn, getting straight onto rides or very short waits. The place was packed enough and it’s not even peak season.

Phew! What an awesome day!

Smile! You’re on camera!
