Islands of Adventure

For the first two weeks of March, I spent my days off working on the yards or doing projects at the houses. We also went to IKEA and bought some cabinets so Jenn could store the books she sells at conventions and book signings.

On the second Saturday of the month, Jennifer did a book signing at her Barnes & Noble, and Susan got Bryan and a friend into Epcot so they could check out the Flower & Garden Festival and ride the Guardians of the Galaxy coaster. This year the topiaries at the front of the park were characters from Moana.

Earlier this week I took a cruiser from Magic Kingdom to the campgrounds. Work continues to progress on the future Lakeshore Lodge.

Yesterday afternoon Jenn, Susan, and I went to Universal’s Islands of Adventure. We made a lap around the park, having some snacks and riding some rides. I rode Spider-Man and Jenn and I rode VelociCoaster. This was only the second time I have ridden VelociCoaster. 

After browsing the shops in the Harry Potter area, Jenn and I rode Hagrid’s Magical Motorbike. While I have been on Hagrid’s a few times, in the past I’ve always sat on the bike and Jenn in the sidecar; this time we switched. 

Both VelociCoaster and Hagrid's are fun coasters, fast and with nice theming. As the sun went down, we wandered out of the park and through CitiWalk, then headed home.
