Recap of My Trip Part 8

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!!!

YAY!! As most of you know, I was chomping at the bit to get to this place. I loved it. LOVED it!! Now, here's the deal....I don't want to overload y'all with the 247 pictures I took. Yes, I said 247 pictures. So, I am posting a sampling of them here and if you are really brave or if you have trouble sleeping and want to see all 247 (give or take after removing the few bad ones) you can email me and I'll send you the Kodak Gallery link.

OK, are you ready???? Jump on your brooms!!

As we were walking through Universal City Walk, I snapped a few photos...



 Since we had two-day tickets, we decided that on our second visit to Universal, we would eat lunch here.


OMG!!! There it is!!! Hogwarts!


At first, I couldn't believe all of the details...I kept looking up, down, from side to side...I was getting a headache!!


Unbelievable!




I swear you feel like you are in the movie.







 Inside Ollivander's Wand Shop.



Here's that nasty book that bites!


Outside the Owl Post, there are owls everywhere!




 This clock is beautiful.


 We ate an early lunch at the Three Brooksticks. Click here for a menu!






 Here's my lunch: Shepherd's Pie with a salad. And Butterbeer, of course!




That's it for Day 8!

By the way, how cool is THIS?

So what does butterbeer taste like? I sure wish this was closer...I just can't see myself flying back out to Orlando again any time soon since I was just there last January. Sure does look cool though.

OH! It's sooo good! Buterbeer tastes like a combination of butterscotch, shortbread, vanilla and cream soda all mixed together in just the right way!

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can

MLB Food Fest

The Food Fest was held at The Reef in Downtown LA. Each person got this bracelet with an RFID chip. That chip would keep track of the food offerings you selected inside and once you reached your limit, it would no longer work. A list of the beers being offered. The first thing I tried was Bhan Mi which consisted of slab bacon, asian slaw, sriracha mayo and a hot dog bun. Then I tired the Wisconsin Ultimate Cheese Fry which consisted of craft beer fries, cheddar cheese sauce, cheddar cheese curds, apple wood smoked bacon and minced chives. Next up were the Sisig Fries which consisted of sisig marinated chicken, Fresno chiles, fried yams, sriracha cilantro crema over fries. While I was in line for the Elote Nuggets, I took a short video so you could see the Food Fest. These were my favorite! Elote Nuggets consisting of corn nuggets, queso cotija, cayenne mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Fish and Chips from London! Batt
