Fieval and Curious George- Universal Studios {Florida}

Typhoon Lagoon {Florida}
We spent the day at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and it was a blast! It has something for everyone of any age. We opted for the after 2pm passes which was just right for us since it let us splash and play for a few hours in the hot part of the day without the crowds…

We spent the day at Discovery Cove- an all inclusive day resort that is part of the Seaworld group. It was amazing! We arrived early and got checked in for the day. There in the lobby we met Luis the sloth. His gentle head leaned into our hands so we could stroke his fur and…

Holidays in the Wizarding World- Universal Studios {Florida}
We celebrated the end of 2018 with a trip to Universal to check out The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios. I have been to Universal a few times before this, but to see it decked out in holiday glam was an entirely new and incredible experience. I just couldn’t get over the…
