Trip to Universal Studios

The Fleming Family (+ Maria, aka Auntie Mia) enjoyed a trip to Universal Studios last weekend courtesy of EA. Brian and I had been anxious to check out the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and I have to say that it lived up to our expectations.

While Universal is a great theme park, there aren't too many rides for the 8-month and under set, but we did get brave enough to try the carousel. While I got just a bit dizzy, Mary Ellen loved it.

Of course, this being Universal, it wasn't just a carousel. This was a Caro-Seuss-el.


I really thought that watching the merry-go-round might be enough, but she was brave enough to go for a ride (in a non-moving car, of course). Such fun!

Brian had a pretty good chat with Spiderman. Who's the kid in this family? The jury is still out.

Our 2011 Christmas Card? Likely, no. Universal is a little starved for good characters. Maria and Brian also got a good shot with the Bubba Gump shrimp, but I'll protect their dignity by not posting it...

  2. Mary Ellen is quite the adventurer--just look at the delight on her face with the Caro-Seuss-el! Not to mention enduring the shrill exuberance of the throngs passing through the Baby Waiting area at the Harry Potter ride.

  3. And I'd love to know what Brian and Spider-Man talked about for so long....
