Wizarding World of Harry Potter & Universal Studios

This past week we fulfilled the boys' big Christmas present this year and took them to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando. I will never get tired of Florida in January. Luckily the weather fully cooperated so that we had two nice days in the park, and a gorgeous sunny day for the pool. Mike and I enjoyed this more than we anticipated; probably because it was low season for the theme park so crowds and lines were at an unusual low. The boys had a good time, too!

The Hideaway Grill at Cabana Bay Beach Resort

Our hotel had a bowling alley on-site, and we took advantage of that after a long day in the sun at the pool.

Cabana Bay Beach Resort, on-site at Universal, was very family friendly and had moves in their pool courtyards each night.
