I posted some of these photos before but on this cold winter day I am more than happy to revisit our vacation to Universal Studios in Orlando, FL. Our family of five went there last October courtesy of Kmart and Sears. My hubby won the trip just by randomly using his Kmart Rewards card at the register when he bought $10 worth of stuff one weekend. They were giving away a trip a day for that whole month and he won the last one! We've never been on a "real" family vacation before so we were thrilled (although skeptical at first) and spent four days and three nights in luxury. We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel and had free access to both parks. These photos are from my two favorite places - The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter and the amazing hotel pool that had a beach (my favorite spot), music (even underwater!), a beachclub (hubby and sons favorite spot) and beautiful weather. Oh how I miss it!

ReplyDeleteWhat a dream come true! I love the magical world of theme parks...and to win this trip in a contest? What could be better!

ReplyDeleteI've always wondered if anyone wins those trips! I bet that was a blast!
ReplyDeleteVery cool indeed. Haven't been to universal in about 18 years! So much has changed I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteIt was so cool, the trip of a lifetime! I always wondered if people really won things like this too so it was a shock. He didn't even enter a contest it was just dumb luck but the cashier and manager at the store assured him it was true. We never would have been able to go if he hadn't won!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing win! I always wonder if those things are a scam or not what they say they are. I'm happy to know people actually win and the trips are for reals :)
