Adventure begins!
Tomorrow is the first day of our not-quite-a-week long trip with my parents.
I'm excited but also nervous - as I think I have mentioned before, this will be the longest amount of uninterrupted time I have spent with them since I moved out. Definitely the most Tim has ever spent with them LOL. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly and we have a good time.
Both my parents retired in July and my Mom made a comment while we were at the Bastille concert that my Dad doesn't seem to know how to get out and do fun things so I thought HARRY POTTER WORLD! We are all movie nerds and I had such a great time at Universal Studios a few years ago. Plus, now that we are not trapped in the summer vacation cycle, they can experience the park when it is not crammed with people and 100 degrees outside.
At least, that is what I am hoping for! Right now, the forecast is looking good, with mid-60s and 70s temps on the two days we have in the park. I'm hoping we can just take our time and wander around because 2 days is plenty of time for both parks, so no rush.
We are driving so tomorrow we will go a little less than 7 hours and stop in lovely (I hope) Florence, South Carolina and then pick up on Sunday and go the rest of the way to Orlando. Staying at a Universal resort so we can have the shuttle back and forth and early park admission and whatever the other perks are.
Anyway, I am way behind on my flist, so sorry about that but obviously not catching up this week! I need to get to bed as it is midnight here and I want to wake up around 8am. A little extra sleep from a normal work day. :)
You can follow my adventure on twitter and instagram, if you want. I'll try to post often to prove we are alive and having fun!
See you on the flip side!
