*A side note*
I am so proud of him. He just hit his 5 year mark working at Universal Studios and, upon this special milestone, they award their employees with a certificate and a choice of a tablet, a camera, or a Rolex watch. Pretty nice.
*Another side note*
I have an interview on Wednesday afternoon there.
Anyway, yesterday he had the day off so he came over and we watched a few Episodes of Dexter and then headed to Universal about 5:00. Initially it looked as if rain was inevitable and we were all a bit disappointed but, thankfully, it never did. (Well, it never rained at Universal...when Zack and I got home we could see there was a downpour here...only 15 minutes away from Universal).
We started the night in Islands of Adventure and went on the original Harry Potter ride. We first rode this a couple years ago at Christmas and waited 2 hours in line. Last night's wait was 30 minutes- and was our longest wait of the night. After the ride we hopped the Hogwart's Express to Universal Studios.

We sneaked on Men in Black without a wait and then rain into JD working outside the Simpson's ride. Never one to like his picture being taken, this is the best I could get.
There was not really any wait for ET either so we hopped on that and then, while we wanted to go on Transformers, there was still a 30 minute wait and we didn't have enough time to do that and see the fireworks show so, instead, we went over to Twister which simulates a category 5 tornado.
And finally, the evening show which was a combination of fireworks, a water show, and some screen entertainment celebrating 100 years of movies. It was fantastic.

Before leaving we sat down and enjoyed a frozen yogurt.
It was another great night.
