Flow Rida Vaca

Johnny and I went on a vacation with my parents and my bro Roury.  So to start off, Johnny and I drove down to St. George to pic up Roury. Then we were off to VEGAS. (we flew out from Vegas because it was way cheaper)
We went to the casino at New York New York and went to the Sports food place...can't remember what its called but I know it isn't ESPN Zone.  We hung out there for awhile and it was cool because all the games were free!  So ofcourse the boys wanted to go the football game first :)


After an hour or so there we drove to the airport for our lovely flight! It wasn't too bad since it was a red eye..I got a little bit of sleep.

So the parentals arrived in Florida the day before us. So pops came to the airport to pick us up at 7 in the mornin!  So kind of him.  Then we all crashed for like 6 hours haha. 

We started our adventures at EPCOT which I learned is an acronym for "Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow"  I haven't been there since I was a little kid and back then it was BORING.  But this time around it as alot of fun!  So we went on this space ride simulator thingy.  There are two options. Green and Orange.  Here is some advice..DON'T GO ON ORANGE. Trust me.  It starts off blasting off from earth.  And no joke I could feel my blood rushing through my body, and I knew this wasn't going to be fun.  The rest of the ride just got worse from there.  It's not like 'Back to the Future' where if you just closed your eyes you would be fine.  On this ride closing your eyes just made it WORSE.  When we got off all three of us wanted to die haha. 
Here are some more pictures from Epcot.




This was a model of a space control thingy haha. (this was shown while we were waiting in line for the space simulator)



This was a really yummy restaraunt, San Angel Inn.  It reminded me alot of the Blue Bayou because there is a water ride that through it like Pirates of the Caribbean.


This lovely troll was at a store after we got off some sort of Norweigan ride. 

I thought these were so cute! Its all made out of flowers.  They had them everywhere of different characters!
This duck had no fear! Probably the closest I have ever been to a duck...

AND NOW...

THE MOMENT YOU ALL...

HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR...


THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER


So the first thing we did was go on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.  The line was too bad only about an hour wait!  The ride is AWESOME!!! If you have ever been on the Amazing Spiderman ride at Islands of Adventure, its kinda like that.  You are on a moving track.  So its not like Back to the Future or the Simpsons Ride.  Some parts there is a screen in front of you and then some times there are real physical things on front of you.  Dragons spitting fire, Spiders spitting venom, Dementors sucking out your soul! haha. We loved it! We went on it 3 times.  Here are some pics of the castle and the queue to the ride...








Everyone was taking a picture right here before they entered the castle...






The Mirror of Erised



So after the ride we decided to get some Butterbeer! SOOOO delicious.  Its hard to describe, its like mix of butterscotch, cream soda, and whipped cream on top.  Also, frozen butterbeer is way good.  We also got some Pumpkin Juice!  Its a mix of like pumpkin juice, apricot juice, and orange juice.







We ate dinner at the 3 broomsticks and it was delicious!


Hog's Head...you can also get butterbeer here and the line isn't long at all. 


Next on our list was Ollivander's wand shop.  The line to GET INTO the store 1 hour long. Fabulous. But we really really wanted our wands :)

I know its hard to see...but here is the little skit they do. They picked these two little boys. (I wished it was me) He did the whole thing like how it was when it was Harry's first time getting a wand.  Pretty fun shtuff!

Well I hoped you enjoyed this! I will be putting more pictures on facebook of the rest of the pictures fom HP and from the rest of our trip. (because I hate how you can only download one picture at a time on here)

You don't know what the good ol days are!

So this weekend Roury came to visit! Yay! We celebrated his birthday on saturday and had a delicious brazilian dinner!  I had Johnny and Roury come to Hobby Lobby with me (such troopers) They were psyched when they found boondoggle and other things from the 90's.  As Roury and Johnny were discussing fads of the "good ol days" this lady that was approx 70+ years of age walks by them and says, "you don't know what the good ol days are!" (I coudn't tell if she was being funny are serious) So Roury said, "Sure I do, you know the 90's, life was awesome then." The old lady
didn't say anything else haha.  I thought it was pretty funny. 
 Maybe you just had to be there.

Saturday Court J and I went out to lunch. So fun. We went to Pei Wei. Delicious. I had never been there. My fortune cookie. Not so great. Something bout I will have good fortune in the Stock Market. Ya try again fortune cookie cuz I don't follow the stocks!

Sunday was my buddy Erik's Homecoming.  Its great to have him back! Those two years flew by for me!  If anyone is looking for a fun date, I will hook u up!! :)

Sunday we watched dos movies with the parentals.  Gotta love The Fugitive, if you haven't seen it, I suggest that you do. It's awesome in my opinion!  And the we watched The Mummy also a good one, although I don't LOVE Brendan Frasier. 

Well that's all for now. Adios.

Retro Junk - B

This week for my tv shows is the letter B.  Here is what I have....

Baywatch: 1989 - 2001


Good ol Baywatch I remember I watched this a few times.  Not enough to know the characters very well but I remember watching it!


BeetleJuice : 1989 - 1991

I loved Beetlejuice! 




Babysitter's Club: 1990 - 1993

LOVED this show. I wanted to be like them when I grew up haha.




Bear in the Big Blue House: 1997 - 2003

Oh were oh where oh where is shadow....that's the only song I remember!



Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction: 1997 - 2002

The show fureaked me out! I will never forget the one about this creepy nanny with red eyes.  Also one about this little girl with an imaginary friend names Sydney.  I never watch to the end to see if they were fact or fiction. 



Bobby's World : 1991 - 1998

What are your favorite tv shows from the past that you loved??

I am concerned....

The other day I was babysitting with my hubby (the kids were ADORABLE) and we watched "A Goofy Movie".  All the characters are some sort of dog.  Then it got me thinking of other Disney characters....

Mickey - mouse - acts like a human
Minnie - mouse - acts like a human
Donald - duck - acts like a human
Daisy - duck - acts like a human
Goofy - dog - acts like a human
(I promise this is going somewhere)

Pluto - dog - acts like a ...dog.

I just think its weird that an animal (Mickey Mouse) as a pet dog.  Just seems a little strange.

Thought I would bring this matter to your attention.

Deep stuff.

hehe

Retro Junk - A

If you know me, you know that I love to R-E-M-I-N-I-S-C-E about things. Memories. Old Tv Shows. Old Movies. Old Fads. Anything!  So today I am going to start with the letter A.

Tv Show:  A
 -My favorite 80's cartoon was definitely Alvin and the Chipmunks. 1983-1990

I loved the girl chipmunks too haha. I still need to see those new movies that came out with them in it. And since when do chipmunks have bad eye sight? haha.







Adventures of the Gummi Bears




- 90's Cartoons: 
    AAAHH! Real Monsters! 1994-1998



Uhhh look how nasty these monsters look. Can't believe I liked this show!!

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: 1993-1995




Are You Afraid of the Dark? 1992-1996


This show used to freak me out haha. I am sure watching it now it would be LAME.  But back then, it was pretty intense!!


Any one else have a favorite tv show that starts with A??

The Hunger Games

Ya so I freaking LOVE this book! I am almost finished with it, and then on to the second one! It is such an easy read! So this is like the FIRST book that I have read that I haven't already seen a movie for it. For example, I saw the first Twilight movie and THEN read the book.  So when I read the book I imagined the characters just like the people in the movie.  Same with Harry Potter.  So finally, with this book, I get to have my own imagination :)  So I thought I would share with you, as close as I can, what
I think the characters look like!

Katniss Everdeen


I imagine Katniss kinda like Gemma Arterton. But ofcourse a younger version since Katniss is a teenager. 


I like Camilla Belle too...


I found this on a blog, I don't think this is the official girl but ya..another idea!

Peeta


Yes, I think of Samwise Gamgee! haha

Haymitch


Hugh Laurie totally reminds me of Haymitch. Scruffy, Tall, Slender.

Well, thats all for now! Tell me your ideas of who the characters remind you of! I would like to know your opinion!
