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

Disneyland Trash Cans

Image
Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted

Getting back into the swing of things...

Image
It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee
