Last night was game two of our Orlando Magic package but before going to the game, we decided to go to Universal Studios, go on a couple rides, and take advantage of our employee coupon for 50% off our meal.
The great thing about this coupon is that it is 50% off the entire check, not just the employee's meal. And with C.J., Jon, and me all having one, we will be checking out other City Walk restaurants soon.
But yesterday, we stayed with our usual favorite - Lombards.
There was a bit of a wait but we expected that.

We had a choice of outside, inside, or first available. We chose first available and were seated outside.
We had a little visitor staring at us while we ate.
I made the mistake of throwing him a little crumb of bread and in an instant, there were birds everywhere! Lesson learned. Ignore the birds.
Zack had fish and fries while C.J. and I had blackened salmon with fingerling potatoes and veggies...delish!
After eating, we walked over to Islands of Adventures
We waited about 20 minutes for Spiderman, about 5 minutes for Cat in the Hat, and about 15 minutes for the Seuss Trolley. And then pretty much ran back to our car in the rain.
Hopped on I4 toward Orlando and there was *gasp* traffic...big surprise. But we still arrived in plenty of time for tip off. Our seats were once again in the top row.
I don't really mind that at all. In fact, I almost prefer it. It must have been Brazilian night. Completely serious...they were everywhere and even brought in their flag.
The game itself was pretty lame. I believe the only lead the Magic had was when they were ahead 2-0. The Magic had entirely too many turnovers but what really made the difference was Washington's 3 point shooting.

I've never seen anything like it. At one point right before the half, the Magic had just made a basket to move within six - but, of course, the basket was waved off and Washington made a buzzer beating 3 pointer to go up by 11. That hurt. They also made a buzzer beating shot to end the 3rd quarter even though the shooter was completely off balance and pretty much just threw it up there. The shots that were going in for them were unbelievable.
Considering at one point the Magic were down by 17 points, the fact that the final score was 105-99 wasn't too bad.

| Half time score...as I said, it was so close to being 51 - 57 at halftime. That really hurt. |

Actually, the half time show made the whole frustrating game worthwhile. The Olate dogs were amazing - and adorable.
