Harry Potter Theme Park

Hey Everyone! I mentioned in my last post that I was going to be absent from blogging for the next week or so because I was traveling to Florida. Me and my Husband went to Orlando on our honeymoon, and I also mentioned that we were going to the Harry Potter theme park and I was going to do a blog post on it when I got back. I thought since it was some what book related, I would post some pictures and share my adventures here on my blog!

The Harry Potter park was something that I was really excited about going to. When I first heard of this I always said I really wanted to go there but honestly never thought it was something that I would be able to do. I don't travel much and haven't traveled since I was a teenager so I never really gave a second thought to the park other than just hoping of one day being able to go. I'm was really excited that we decided to go. I do have to say that I really did enjoy the park and I'm definitely happy that I went. The only downfall to the park that it was so crowded that it was almost hard to enjoy at the same time. I did expect it though since Orlando is a huge tourist trap. 

When we were there we rode the simulator ride that you get to by going through the Hogwarts Castle. The ride was fun and even though it was really busy it wasn't a too bad of a wait. We ate a restaurant there, I think was the Three Broomsticks (I can't remember if it was that or the Hogs Head Pub) and we also tried the Butter beers which were so delicious. I looked up the recipe online and I want to try to make them at home too haha. We went into the Zonkos, Honeydukes, and Owl Post shops. The shops were so crowded it was hard to look around and shop. They were also super expensive, however I did grab a few souvenirs including a sorting hat which I put onto of my bookshelf! :)

I'm going to wrap up this post with some pictures that I took while I was there. I hope you all enjoyed and thank you all for reading!

Absent from Blogging- Sorry!

Hey Everyone! I first wanted to apologize to my readers about being absent from blogging. My last post was my April reading wrap up, and I mentioned in there that May was going to be a crazy month for me and I wasn't sure how much I was going to be able to read. I've only read one book so far and I'm working on one right now so I have not been reading much. Thus I haven't had anything to write reviews on and haven't had time/anything to blog about. Sorry! I am also leaving for vacation tomorrow and won't be back for a week so I will still be absent from my blog during that time. BUT I am going to Orlando, so that means I will be going to the Harry Potter Park! Woooo! I will be doing a blog post on the park when I get back since that is kind of bookish related! I'm really excited and sorry again to my readers for the lack of blog posts!!

Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed :)
