In trying to find pictures for Throwback Thursday, I realized I have a lot of pictures of adult beverages (that is said with pride, by the way). As such, I’ve decided that rather than share pictures of me with bad 80s hair and glasses that legitimately covered half my face, I could easily share glasses … Continue reading Thirsty Thursday #16

We met Uncle Herb on a rainy day at Pearl Harbor (more about that later). He was at home on leave when Japan attacked, quickly reporting for duty when the attack started. He has a great memoir, Counting My Blessings, that details his life and what it was like being a soldier who survived the … Continue reading Uncle Herb

After we left Hogwarts we wound our way back down to the village of Hogsmeade. A quaint little village, where there is snow on the buildings all year round. Our first stop was to wet our whistles with some delicious butter beer. And it was delicious (as it tastes like butterscotch, which I adore!), but … Continue reading Hogsmeade
You gotta hand it to Universal, they know how to sucker you in create a whole experience. Of course, in order to do that you need a pass to both of their parks–but it is TOTALLY worth it (if you’re a Harry Potter fan–and by fan I mean borderline obsessed…and by borderline, I just mean obsessed) … Continue reading Hogwarts
For awhile, I just walked around and took in all the shops (btw, if you’re just now joining me–welcome! I’m discussing my visit to Diagon Alley in London Universal Studios in Orlando, FL as part my first Fabulous Not Forty Birthday Trip). I really wanted to get a wand, but at some point practicality took over … Continue reading Taint No Place More Magical!
One cannot go to Diagon Alley and NOT eat at The Leaky Cauldron. It would be like visiting New York City and NOT eating cheesecake. I mean, really–who does that? No one. So thus…when you’re in Diagon Alley at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios, you have to eat at The Leaky Cauldron. … Continue reading The Leaky Cauldron
