Universal Studios...

This morning Mike and I woke up at 3:45am, showered and headed out to our taxi to get to Reagan airport. We boarded our flight to Atlanta at 6:00am, landed and transferred to our flight at Orlando. We arrived in Orlando at 10:20am then stood in line for our rental car for 30 minutes. When we got to the counter, picked up our Hyundai Sonata and headed to our hotel. As we're driving down the road, we see this humongous building - it was our resort - Rosen Shingle Creek. We pulled up to the front door and unloaded. Once inside, we were still amazed - beautiful doesn't even begin to describe it. Our room on the 4th floor has amazing views of the 3 pools and parts of the golf course. But enough of that - Universal Studios closed at 6pm so we headed back to the car for our 10 minute drive to the park. Once there we were amazed at how NOT crowded it was. We rode everything we wanted, with the longest line being a 10 minute wait. The Hulk, Spiderman, Dueling Dragons, Log Flume, and more... It was amazing! At about 5:45pm our bodies told us to sit and refuel...so we headed to Margaritaville for dinner and drinks. The day was perfect, and everything I could have asked for. Thank you Mike for having a conference in Orlando and booking an amazing hotel, you're the best!!! (and thanks MPR for paying).
