orangerfulSo, I just booked a vacation for my family to Universal Studios.
Like, Tim and myself plus my parents, who both retired in June.
I'm realizing this will be the most non-stop time I have spent with my parents since I moved out of the house in the early 2000s. This is going to be an experience.
We're going to drive down, split that over two days because that many hours in the car is too many with 4 adults. Plus, there's lots of cute little towns to stop in from here to Orlando.
So, yeah two days down, two days in the park and two days back. End of January so that the park should be empty.
But it's Harry Potter land! It's hard not to have fun there. My parents haven't been to Universal Studios since 1995, I think, so lots of new stuff for them. And even in the few years since my last trip, they've added at least 3 rides - King Kong, Jimmy Fallon and the new Hagrid roller coaster.
Something to look forward to when it gets dark and cold over the next few months. And when I'm sitting in Wisconsin on Christmas.
PAX East tickets AND Star Wars movie tickets go on sale this week also. Somehow all of the exciting things are Dec/Jan/Feb for me in 2020! Talk about peaking early!
Oh, and BONUS: we had to get a new hot water heater this weekend LOL. TIMING IS EVERYTHING!
