Our Adventures At The Islands Of Adventure

Since we closed down Universal Studios the night before and didn't really have to wait in any lines we decided to get a later start on our second day at Universal Studios...this was our worst idea yet!  Katie wanted to wait to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in the sunlight, so we skipped it on day one, but we quickly realized that everyone visiting the park was also there to see Harry.  So, we walked into Hogsmeade took a few pictures, were almost trampled trying to purchase postcards and got the hell out of there!  Instead of being wizards for the day, we decided to ride lots of water rides and end the day eating & drinking at City Walk.

The O'Babbitt's at Mythos - Voted Best Theme Park Restaurant (2003-2009)
We were really excited to try this restaurant (all of the reservations were booked when Anne
called originally, but we were able to get a table right away when we walked up)

The Poncho Pals after the Jurassic Park River Adventure ride
We put the ponchos to good use again on day two...
they have three water rides at Islands of Adventure and we did not want to get soaked

We had to pop back into Universal Studios to ride Rock It again and to take
a picture with Anne's new favorite...the Minions from Despicable Me

After Happy Hour drinks & appetizers at Emeril's Orlando we had to make this dream
come true for Babbitt...mostly so he would stop asking about it...turns out it's just a BK with a smaller menu
