Andrew had a work conference in Orlando, Florida and of course, I tagged along! Fortunately, two of my friends were in town because their husbands were attending the same conference; therefore, we all got to spend time together. The three of us girls decided we wanted to go to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter which means we'd be going to Universal Studios- Islands of Adventure. Granted, I would have gone to Universal Studios alone but it was much more fun with friends!
I'm a huge Harry Potter fan; I've read all of the books and some of them I've read multiple times. I was so ecstatic to visit the theme park! Walking through The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was like being in the movies. We rode all of the rides, tasted Butterbeer (get the frozen kind), and walked in all of the shops. The architects that design those theme parks are truly artists. I couldn't believe how well they captured exactly how J.K. Rowling describes these places in the books! We took time to walk around and ride rides in the rest of the park but found ourselves starting and ending the day in Hogsmeade. It was a magical day, I would have paid the park entrance fee just to go into Harry Potter World. My three favorite things about the day were:
We chose not to buy the park-to-park pass so we weren't able to ride the Hogwarts Express over to Diagon Alley. We did get a picture with the conductor and he never broke character once! The entire experience was magnificent and I'm so glad I was finally able to visit!

I'm constantly trying to visit new places; as many of you know, it's on my bucket list to visit all 50 states by the age of 50. Since the last time I updated this list, I've added two new states: Kansas and South Dakota. What states are on your bucket list or is it all of them?!
