Home! (and a sneak peek of Harry Potter at Universal...)
So, reluctantly (and rather jetlagged), I am home from Florida!
We had a bit of a crazy busy week, full of rollercoasters, shopping, swimming, the sea and lots of sun - and I wish we were still there. But now that I'm home, I can get back into the swing of blogging - every cloud eh?!
So I have a little giveaway that is going up tonight - nothing huge but I picked up a few bits in the States especially for my followers, and I hope you like them! Most of my own shopping is rather boring, but I may do a quick post on the handful of clothes, make up and nail varnishes I picked up :)
Anyway...back onto the main point of this post! A few weeks ago, the lovely Victoria at Lily loves Lola gave us a peek at the new section of Universal Studios Islands of Adventure - The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - and I was lucky enough to go! It doesn't open officially until Friday, but we were given special early access thanks to Virgin Holidays :)
So we dragged ourselves out of bed to get to the park at 7am for breakfast in The Three Broomsticks and had a look around the park with some of the other special visitors. All I can say is wow - they have definitely done their homework and the details are spectacular! It is rather bizarre seeing snow topped buildings in the sunshine, and Hogwarts surrounded by palm trees, but you quickly get used to it as you guzzle butterbeer and experience Hogsmeade and Hogwarts for yourself.
So I shall leave you with a few photos to whet your appetite...and look out for my giveaway later on :)
