Southern Cal 2017 - Day 5

Day 5 - Universal Studios Hollywood - June 5, 2017

We spent the day at Universal Studios Hollywood, which in reality was one of the biggest reasons for our trip. Back in November, on our way to Australia, we had a day to kill here in Southern Cal and we went to Universal Studios.  At that time we bought a 9 month annual pass, which was only $10 more than the single day pass.  So here we were, reaping the benefits on one of the last days that wasn't blacked out on our pass.


Of course our first stop was a visit to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Poor Lyla isn't tall enough, and poor Alison doesn't have the stomach constitution for this ride.


It may have looked cold and snowy, but it was actually quite warm.


Butterbeer.


Minion hugs.


We met up with some friends who had purchased front of the line passes.  They may or may not have let us use them on a ride or two.


I just love the forced perspective.


Ollivander's Wand Shop


Ada got Snape's wand for Christmas a year ago, Kate & Lyla were excited to get their own wands.  I think that Lyla got Dumbledore's wand and Kate got Hermoine's.


We left the park by 6PM.  Stopped by Menchie's for some frozen yogurt,


And picked up some doughnuts at Voodoo.


Finally dinner at Mimi's Cafe.


Tomorrow we spend the day at The Great Wolf Lodge.
