While most people in America were Christmas shopping the day after Thanksgiving, we decided to visit Universal Studios. Ben and Will have been to Disney, Universal and Sea World several times, but were so young they don't remember. We spent the morning at Universal, and then after lunch (at Hard Rock Cafe) we spent the rest of the day in Universal's sister park Islands of Adventure.
Below is the Hulk coaster at Islands of Adventure. It about gave Ben a concussion.
My mom lives in Genesis Pointe across the street from Warner Southern College where I earned my BA in Church Ministry. These cranes (below) live there, too. They're worse than roosters as they stroll around the development hunting up breakfast. Some people just can't keep quiet while they eat.
These last three pix are from another of our favorite places. Highlands Hammock State Park is about a half-hour drive from my mom's house. The boardwalk trail only takes about 20 minutes and takes visitors through cypress swamps and alligator ponds.
