Spring Break Florida Style

One of our favorite places to visit is Florida.  We have amazing friends there and this year we got to go with more amazing friends from here to there!  We took the kids to Universal Islands of Adventure and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.  For Harry Potter fans, the experience is out this world.  Kudos to Universal for eloquently capturing the many details that J R Rowling provides in her books.   Unfortunately, I got a little sick after the Flight of the Hippogriff.  And none of us cared for the butter beer - it was just way too sweet.  But then again, we loaded up at Honeydukes.  The kids discovered the best way to the ride the attractions over and over quickly is to go on a single-rider.

We celebrated Holi Ocala-style as we attended their Indian Association Holi celebration!  So pleased we did since we missed the Charlotte one due to very cold weather.  The kids even went on a helicopter ride and toured around Orland from the sky.  Lucky kids, even I've never been in a helicopter!
