Vacation

Chris and I just got back from our first real vacation together. It only took 4 years (which by the way, we hit 4 years on Sunday.) I have to divulge the details because it was such a blast! We left at 6:30 on Monday morning (the 2nd) and arrived at Orlando around 3. We checked into our hotel and put our bags and stuff down. It was straight to the parks from there. We had two 5 day passes to all the Disney World theme parks, two 1 day passes to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, and two tickets to Medieval Times. So, we decided we wanted to go to Magic Kingdom first, so we hopped on the bus that was free and went there. We stayed until about 11:30, getting on every single ride we wanted to. We got back to the hotel around midnight and realized that we hadn't eatten yet! We ordered pizza and quickly went to sleep. The next morning we awoke early (can't remember what time) and went to MGM which has since been renamed Hollywood Studios. We went on the Aerosmith Rockin' Rollercoaster and I bought a T-shirt. Chris went on Tower of Terror, but I really don't like the feeling of my stomach dropping, so I passed on that ride. We then went to Epcot and went a few rides there, and went to Olive Garden for dinner. On Wednesday we decided to go to Universal and Islands of Adventure. First we went to Universal, which has changed dramatically since the last time I had been there. None of my favorite rides were there anymore. However, they did have the BEST ride of the trip, The Mummy. It was awesome, Chris and I went on it 6 times. At Islands of Adventure we again had the chance to go on every single ride we wanted to with time enough to go to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. On Thursday we returned to Magic Kingdom and Epcot and went to this really nice resturant in Epcot. For those of you who have never been, they have a bunch of different sections that represent a whole bunch of different countries. We, of course, ate at Italy which consisted of NOTHING but workers that were orginally from Italy. At this point Chris and I were exhausted, even though we had slept in that day we went to sleep really early. Friday was our last day there, we went to MGM again and then to Medieval Times. Right after the show, we drove home. We arrived at 7:00am Saturday morning. Needless to say, we slept the whole day. It was a fantastic vacation and we ended up losing 3 pounds each because of all the walking we did! I definitely want to make it a yearly thing. As for our 4 year anniversary, we just spent time together at home too wiped to do anything else! It was great though!
