My Thanksgiving Blues

With so much VisitFlorida.com blogging to do in the coming months, I headed over to Universal Studios, Orlando for some research/entertainment for the kids while they are out of school. Our friends were staying at Universal's Royal Pacific Resort on property. We decided to join them. First of all, you get an Express Pass to skip the lines. On a holiday weekend, this is a MUST-have travel item for the parks. The hotel is our favorite. There is a water taxi that goes straight into the park and the boys just love the HULK ride. Brandon has been waiting for what seems like his whole life to make the height requirement for some of the "big boy" rides. He finally did it! He rode the MUMMY and loved it. They even conned me into riding it by telling me it was on a boat like "Small World" at Walt Disney World. What they forgot to tell me was that it's a rollercoaster!

We had tickets to Blue Man Group and the ICE! exhibit at the Gaylord Palms resort. Between the Blue Man Group, Blue parkas at the ICE show and our Blue LIPS from the 9 degree weather inside, we were truly having the Thanksgiving blues! It was awesome!

You can read all about it on my www.VisitFlorida.com blog when they launch, which should be any day now. I am crossing my fingers for Monday!
