Spring Break 2008 Galleries

Aquatica

We started our Spring Break trip to Orlando by visiting Aquatica, a brand new water park at Sea World. One of the highlights is a slide with a clear chute that takes you through a pool of dolphins. Very cool.

Universal Studios Florida

Tuesday was spent at Universal Studios' original park. The girls enjoyed their first-ever taste of a theme park. Frank and I enjoyed revisiting some familiar rides (Jaws, Twister) and experiencing some of the newer ones (Mummy, Shrek). For fun, check out these pictures from prior trips to Universal with Drew and John.

Islands of Adventure

We had a great time at Islands of Adventure. Between the fun water rides, the thrilling action rides, and the silly Seuss Landing, there was always something exciting around the corner. We got Liz to try her first roller-coaster, the Flying Unicorn, and Jackie and Frank braved the Hulk. Definitely a favorite.

Day Three at Universal/Islands of Adventure

Before heading home, we decided to go back to the parks to revisit our favorite rides and try a couple of new ones. We spent most of the day at Islands of Adventure, but finished off with a stop by the older park as well. Had to do Mummy and Men in Black one more time!

Trip Home

As we started our trip home, we stopped for lunch at the famous McDonald's restaurant with the world's largest playplace. The girls tried their luck at skeeball and we got a few photo opps.
