Needing a Vacation from our Vacation

Guess What....
We actually weren't scammed and I've got the pictures to prove it!


To sum up our trip it was: Exciting, Humid, Breathe taking, Painful, Hilarious, Wet, Tiring
& ONCE IN A LIFE TIME 
We loved it and the whole time felt so blessed to be there.

So here's the play by play..
We left bright and early Tue. July 2 to catch our fight to Miami and then on to Orlando.
Once we stepped off the plane we felt the realization of being in Florida all over us...  HUMIDITY!
I didn't think that it would be so bad for me since I grew up in Missouri, but then I remembered that I really haven't spent a summer in Missouri since 2008. 
So of course my hair goes crazy curly/frizzy and Kenny just begins to sweat!
Our ride then picks us up and takes us to our hotel at the Ramada.... I know what you're thinking, ohh that's a good place to stay... but No! This Ramada was like a motel where the doors faced the outside and so the humidity could easily make it's way into our room and make everything WET inside.   
                                                                         Literally everything! 
So,because of this, Kenny was up all night tossing and turning in our wet sheets while I of course am passed out because I can sleep like a log anywhere, no matter the conditions. 

Even though this may sound like I'm complaining and that we hated it, it was fun and since they had free continental breakfast we grew to love our sticky home! haha

So July 3 & 4th we set off early in the morning to walk to the park and get there for early admission!
For our first stop, we headed straight for HARRY POTTER LAND!!!




Pictures don't even give this place justice! 
I couldn't believe that we were at a theme park and not Europe
The rides were amazing!!! 
But you must know that they aren't all roller coasters (which is all that I thought that I liked)
Most of the rides here are amazing 3D riders but that make your stomach go up into your throat just like huge roller coasters! They were crazy and just amazing!


Our sweet 3D glasses that we rocked
the details that they put into this place was crazy too!

These pictures actually talked too, just like the books & movies



The talking hat that told us things about the ride!
And Yes, all of these pictures were all taken where BEFORE the ride... CRAZY! whoever thought that the waiting line would be so cool

Yumm my first Beer! (Obviously is not real Beer)
BUTTER BEER!!!
Then I dragged Kenny to Dr. Seuss Land
(a teachers dream)

Ha look at the bushes!! So awesome

The Cat in the Hat ride... this might have been a kid ride but I still loved it :)


After this ride Kenny would't let me choose anymore haha

Next came the most intense rides...

You might be laughing... but this cute ride was the best water ride I have ever been on

Then came Jurassic Park! AWESOME 
(yes we are wet... not just sweaty!) 

Then much much more...


 This is from Despicable Me haha! Gru child proofed the house

Shrek Of Course
 The Simpsons!
Transformers
The Mummy! My All Time Favorite 
Men in Black

All the rides were fun, but so was jut walking around 






And there was even a Parade!
 




AND FIREWORKS

and then we were too tired to move...

So this was probably more information then you all wanted to know, but I just couldn't leave out any part of our fun adventure that we miraculously won!

Now were home and will be in a coma until Monday
