Universal Studios Trip!
     Hey there! Just got back from a short three day trip to Universal Studios in Orlando! Had a wonderful time! I got a Gryffindor hat and shirt, a Severus Snape wand and Carolyn bought an awesome minions shirt and a  Hermione Granger wand! Several new Christmas ornaments for the tree (a tradition when we go places) and stayed at the Cabana Bay Beach Resort Hotel with a lazy river. (Lazy rivers are just the thing after several miles of walking around a theme park!) The Cabana Bay is a 50's/60's themed hotel...kinda' fun.
     We went to Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, rode the train several times, and visited just about every themed area, such as Despicable Me!, Jurassic Park, Dr. Seuss, Toons, Lost Continent, Super Heroes,  etc. and City Walk where the finer restaurants are. Ate at the Leaky Cauldron and watched the dragon spew fire from on top of Gringots! 
     If any of you are thinking about going, you will have a great time. Just make sure you bring your good walking shoes and hydrate! Almost too much to see and do!
    Work update: At the moment, I'm about one third of the way through the 28th volume of The Falls small town mystery series and am working on putting The Falls: Full Circle into paperback. editing The Falls: The Grass is Always Greener at the same time. The Falls: Slave Trade is in Kindle form. Should be available in a couple of weeks.
     May your day be wonderful and may the dragons watch over you...thanks for stopping by!
