his dreams became ours

Welcome to Hogwarts, the place where the dreams of Harry Potter can be yours. Universal Studios really did an amazing job putting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter together. If they offered housing, I would move there yesterday and never come back. Incredible. We ate every flavour beans, drank butterbeer, fought dragons, rode brooms, and embraced all Harry Potter had to offer. If there was every a day I wanted to be a kid forever, it was at the Harry Potter theme park. Purchasing a membership that allows access anytime you want, is necessary.

Here it is...the long awaited Hogwarts. Oh. My. Goodness. Was it everything I hoped and dreamed? No, it was more. I must not tell lies. Hogwarts was truly amazing. Every detail was there. From the towers of Hogwarts castle to the potions classroom to Moaning Myrtle in the bathrooms. They were all there. If you haven't purchased your ticket to go yet, do it. Now.

House points!! Naturally, Gryffindor is in the lead. And yes, I left with Gryffindor apparel. My bank account is still recovering, but completely worth it.

Got Butterbeer?! We did. Thoughts were not great about the butterbeer before trying it. How could it really be good we all thought. Question no more...the butterbeer was worth the drive. And I would make the drive again, just to have a nice refreshing glass. I'm still trying to perfect exactly how to make my own butterbeer. More to come.

Of course we could not leave without trying Every Flavour Beans! And yes, they had every flavor. They were good, they were terrible, but most definitely worth trying once. Here is the list of not so great flavours we had: bacon, laundry detergent, dirt, grass, and vomit.
If you are in need of a vacay, pack your bags and head south. Go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, fight dragons, fly a broom, drink butterbeer, and eat jelly beans. Say hello for me and send pictures. Most importantly, have the time of your life living in a world we all wish were real.
