Well friends, I've been spending the last 48 hours in Orlando, Florida. My best friend, Emily, turned 21 today so to celebrate her birthday her mom sent the two of us and two of Em's cousins to Orlando for 3 days. It's been really fun thus far! I got here Wednesday and surprised Em, who had no idea I was coming! That was exciting. (Oh, did I mentioned I flew by myself for the first time, got stopped in the airport and had to have a test done on my bag because obviously I'm a drug addict or something, and then got lost in the Orlando airport? Yeah. I don't like airports, or flying for that matter. But I'm here, so it was worth it). After that we just bummed around the hotel, watched NCIS, Pitch Perfect(if you haven't seen it you need too), went on an adventure to CVS, then came back to the hotel and ordered Pizza. It was just a nice relaxing night. Then yesterday we went to Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. Holy hippo, it was so cool! The highlight for me was obviously Harry Potter World. I flipped out. We walked around Hogsmeade, and then got to go inside Hogwarts. Sadly we weren't allowed to take pictures of the inside of Hogwarts, but the outside was amazing.

I was kind of flipping out the whole time. I could have easily spent an entire day there! Or a few days. There was so much to see and look at, and so many little shops to go in. We didn't brave the lines to get butterbeer, but we did brave the line for the Harry Potter ride, which I did in fact go on.
There's a video of the ride- turn off the lights and watch it! It was almost too much for me, and the video doesn't show quite how intense it was, but it was amazing! After we hit that ride, we made a run to get to the bus on time and then just came back to the hotel and chilled. Today we don't know what we're doing...which is funny since it's already 1:15 here and all we've done is figure out flight information for tomorrow. Today is Em's actual birthday so I'm sure we'll end up doing something fun.
