Wonderful Orlando Part One

So I took my first vacation days in over a year this last week. I went with mom to Orlando and it was lots of fun. It was so nice to just relax and enjoy the time with no work commitments. First we went to Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. They had some really great holiday specials; there was a live stage show of Grinchmas. Unfortunately I forgot that first day that I had my camera so I have no pictures of that show. The music was done by Mannheim Steamroller and the show was hilarious. We also went on the water rides and got soaked. Luckily, it was fairly warm for December so it wasn't that bad to be wet.
The next day we went to Universal Studios Orlando. They had several of the floats from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was lots of fun.
My favorite float was this central park float. The skater was really on ice skates and she was skating to Christmas music while the float moved. I was really impressed.

  1. Glad you had a fun trip, just as planned!

    Hopefully someday you'll get to go back and watch Grinchmas again to take pictures.

    Speaking of pictures, thanks for sharing some of the parade! What a treat to get to see some of them from the Thanksgiving Day Parade without having to go out pre-dawn for seats. That one of the ice skater is super impressive.

    Looking forward to Part Two!
