I'm back!!! I

I'm back!!! I missed you all! My vacation was awesome!

So, we went to an island off the coast of Georgia for my first cousin once removed's wedding.(It's called St. Simons Island.) We stayed in a beautiful house with my cousins. Then, we went to Orlando, FL. We went to Universal Studios and THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!! I had known that we were doing something fun after the wedding, and that we were flying out of a different airport than the one we were flying out of, but I had no idea what it was! My parents finally told us what it was right after we got off the plane in Atlanta! It was so much fun!!! I rode the Escape from Gringotts one three times, which is unusual for me, because in general I don't like roller coasters. The first time, I rode it with my dad and older brother, because my younger brother is in the beginning of the seventh book, and we weren't sure if it would have spoilers. It didn't, so we immediately got back in line with him and rode it again. The third time was at the very end, when they were about to close.  I really wanted to ride the Hogwarts Express, but it broke. We watched it pull out, full of people, and we were in the front of the line, but when it came back it was broken.

I also got bitten at an alligator park.

 

(I got bitten by a tortoise, but that part doesn't matter.)

If you want to hear more I would be more than happy to tell you, but you're probably tired of all the exclamation marks.

I did! You start off in a cavern, with stalactites hanging from the ceiling, then you go through some tunnels. Then there are trolls that block the way, and end up breaking the track in front of you. You fall into a room with Bill Weasley, who says that it's perfectly safe. Then a dragon comes up behind him, and breathes fire(actually steam with orange lights) at you and you keep going. You pass some of the vaults, and then Nagini sticks her head up right in front of you, and Voldemort and Bellatrix apparate there. Bellatrix pushes you away with her wand, and you go through this completely dark tunnel. There are occasional lights, and you think that you're about to go that way, but then you go in the complete opposite direction. Then you go through another room, where Bill asks if you've enjoyed your visit, and it ends.

Did I mention that it's both a simulator and a roller coaster? That probably makes make a lot more sense.

That sounds amazing, Crookshanks! I can tell from your name that you love HP. I really want to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but my mom is afraid of roller coasters. :(

There's so much I love about Harry Potter! The plot. The themes. The community, the merchandise the fandom! It brought so many people together.
