9,10 and 11: Florida

We drove from New Orleans to Mississippi to meet up with one of Hope's high school friends.  It was nice for her to visit.  We weren't there long then we headed off to Destin Florida.  Hope's friend Michelle lives here, we stayed for about 3 or 4 hours.  I enjoyed the view from her boyfriends balcony.  Fish were jumping out to the water everywhere I looked.  It was very nice.
 Next on our list was Clear water Beach.  Hope was in Florida last fall and was supposed to go to Clear water but never made it and was a little bummed about that so we went with her.  It was beautiful, white sand, warm gulf water.   Very nice.

 Then we were off to Disney World!
Even the towels make us happy 
 We are staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort.  We are in Aruba.  It is so pretty here.  I think Florida is one of my favorite states so far.
 Day 11: off to Universal studios and Islands of adventure,  We went to the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter, it was amazing. We had so much fun, the line was super long but it was worth the wait.  The whole place was amazing every where we looked we were amazed.  Way better than Universal studios in California for sure.


Wizarding World of Harry Potter,  the rides we liked the best

 It was super hot again and we needed to take a break.  Hope has wanted to get a henna tattoo for a long time so she got one.  It was pretty cool to watch the lady free hand this.
We had such a great time, even though it was hot.  Universal Studios Orlando was a great place!

Oh Man!! I thought we had been to Universal ENOUGH! but now with the Wizarding world . . . . maybe we'll have to go again :) The Dr. Suess area was great wasn't it?
