Butter Beer, friends, and roller coasters - what's not to love?

Yesterday I phoned it in on the blogging – quite literally (and by the real definition of literally, not that stupid updated opposite definition.) By which I mean that I uploaded a photo to blogger and called it a day. It was warranted, it was butter beer! That, by the way, is the sweetest thing I have ever drunk in my entire life. Delicious, yes, but I think once is enough for a lifetime.

I met up with a lovely internet friend and her entire family at Universal Studios for a day of fun and Harry Potter. I was struck with horrible mommy guilt about not taking Spencer, but I rectified it by buying them candy and tshirts and spending money we don’t usually spend at Disney (no, you can’t buy something at the gift shop! We’re here every weekend!) They went with daddy to Magic Kingdom while I was out gallivanting. I took relatively no photos and no GOOD photos (and not a single one with Tara!) but it was a good time. We went to both Universal parks, I rode a heck of a lot of roller coasters (my favorite thing) with Tara’s family members because she doesn’t ride them. The girls were darling and it was just a good day. I’m so glad I went.

I left around closing time and ended up meeting C and the kids for dinner in Orlando before making the long drive home. Spencer rode with me and we talked all the way until exit 17 when he said “I need no more talking, Mommy” and wouldn’t let me listen to music with words so he could zonk out. I gave it five minutes before turning on something a little livelier to get myself home.
