Two years ago (October, 2011) our family took an amazing trip that my hubby won to Universal Resort in Orlando. Yes, people really do win these things! I wrote a
post about it and included some photos in a
previous Saturday Snapshot. I hope you don't mind if I share a few more of my favorites here today. These are mostly touristy spots along the City Walk.

Hard Rock Cafe |

NBA City Restaurant |

Our favorite place to eat - Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville! (Yep, that place - "stepped on a pop top, blew out a flip flop...") |

One of Jimmy Buffett's actual planes parked (permanently) by the restaurant |

Of course we had to be dorky tourists posing by the Universal trademark |

My favorite place with my favorite guys, the beach at our humungous pool at the Hard Rock Hotel |
How fun! I don't think I've ever been to a pool with a beach.
ReplyDeleteMe either and I couldn't imagine what it would be like but it was amazing! I wish I could live at that pool! :D
ReplyDeleteRight! If we ever get to Florida with the kids we are definitely staying at that resort with that beach pool :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful!! There are three hotels there and this was the one I was hoping we would get. Just the hotel was an adventure!
DeleteYou will never forget a trip like that!
ReplyDeleteI revisit the photos and my memories often! We don't really take vacations and never could have afforded this trip on our own. It was amazing and I'm so thankful we got to do it!
DeleteHow fabulous that you won! And what an awesome experience. Thanks for sharing....and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI hope to visit Universal someday, too; I've been to the one in LA...not in Orlando.
Fabulous photos, Wrighty! It looks like you had a wonderful trip.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great win. Looks like a great time.
ReplyDeleteGREAT photos.
THANKS for sharing.

ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time! I don't remember all of these spots but we haven't been there for a number of years now and we spend most of our time on the rides. :-)
