Orlando with Holly!

Holly and I had the opportunity to spend some time together in Orlando.  The first day, we were both so tired, we just zonked.  The next day we checked out the newest Universal park, Epic Universe.  The day started out great.  The weather was amazing and the wait times weren't bad.  But then we got in line for the newest Harry Potter ride.  The wait time said 160 minutes, so we knew it was going to be long, but that was the shortest time that had been listed all day so we jumped in line.  Unfortunately, 160 minutes turned into 210 minutes.  We waited for 3 1/5 hours, insane!  Then, when we got on the ride, it shut down.  Ugh.  Luckily, we got to finish the ride and to make amends, they gave us each an express pass to any ride in the park, so our next wait was only 15 minutes.  Still, the wait drained us and left us void of any enthusiasm for the rest of the evening. The best ride there is the Stardust Racers for sure.  After the park we hit up Cici's for dinner.  It was a great day overall.

Our next adventure was to Kennedy Space Center.  We had a great time.  Again, the weather was phenomenal!  The bus tour is a must do.  I absolutely loved seeing the Saturn V moon rocket and  reading about all of the Apollo missions.  The silly photo shoot we took was also a highlight!
