A trip to visit Harry

Dave's been very busy at work these last couple of months - crazy busy, in fact.  So we decided to give him a break by taking a trip to someplace relaxing, quiet, and soothing.  We visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, along with about 20,000 other people.  And spent 3 days walking in the 90 degree humidity of Florida. But it was a dream come true for at least two people in our family - Dave and Rebekah.  Here's the proof:


In front of the Three Broomsticks

 Drinking butterbeer for breakfast

At Olivander's

 In front of Hagrid's house

Hogwarts

Tri-wizard's cup

Bekah in front of the scary dragon roller coaster.
She was the onlyone brave enough to ride it.

And of course we had to hit the other sites at Universal Studios.  Like Krustyland.


Toon Land (that's Olive Oyl, in case you can't tell).

 A gigantic shark at Fisherman's Wharf 

 And Dr. Seuss land

As you can tell by the photos, we had a great time.  But it definitely wasn't relaxing!  It think we probably
walked at least 10 miles a day.  We were pooped at the end of the day and couldn't wait to get back to the hotel and put our feet up.

It's catch-up time

We just got back from a trip to Florida, and when I was downloading those pictures from our camera, I came across these pictures from our trip to visit Matt and Amy when Porter was blessed (back in February). We had so much fun visiting them and their two adorable little boys.

Porter has changed a lot since then, of course, and even Preston looks bigger now.  But these pictures are so cute that I wanted to share them, especially for the benefit of my mom, who isn't on facebook to see the pictures that were posted there:
