Best vacation ever.

So back in 2007 when I was a senior in high school, the announcement that Harry Potter would be a theme park was made. My father told me that if I could wait that would be my senior trip. So I waited and this past week I got my senior trip!!!!! It was seriously amazing. The best thing ever. We flew to Philadelphia on Wednesday night because Terry had meetings there so Thursday night I walked around and went to Liberty Square and saw the liberty bell and independence hall again. Thursday we flew to Florida and Friday we went to universal studios to HARRY POTTER LAND. It was AMAZING. The street was phenomenal and so realistic. The forbidden journey ride is unlike any other ride out there. It takes you through a wonderful story, a realistic dragon and creepy dementors.  Saturday and Monday were spent at disney world and tuesday was at harry potter land again. sunday was spent at church, visiting the temple and relaxing. On monday we went to all 4 disney parks in a day and rode nearly everything we want to. Terry and i got more done at Disney World in 2 days then most people do in a week there. Overall it was the best trip and so fun to be able to spend all that time with my father.

 ok so i know this picture is blurry and you cant see it, but terry and i really wanted to ride splash mountain but did not want to get wet, so saturday we went to wal mart and bought 88 cent ponchos and brought them back with us on monday. well we waited till probably 7 to ride it and there was no wait. so we took our ponchos and didnt get wet. so we took our ponchos off and decided to ride again instead.. well terry put his on backwards and in the picture he is covering his face so he wouldnt get it wet, and i was doing the same so we looked ridiculous but it was soo funny. annnd the workers let us ride it again without having to move.

 this is the beautiful cinderella castle lit up for christmas

 the hogwarts express conductor....for those of you who dont know terry (well and those who do know him) He is the best best father ever. and i know nearly every child would say that of their fathers, but for real i am so lucky and blessed to have him. He took time out of his busy schedule to go with me and completely was into it all. We both had so much fun. Terry  (ps i call him terry as an old family joke. all his brothers would call him ter and it kinda stuck with my brother and i especially when we would try to get his atttention and the screaming of dad wouldnt work. some would say it is disrespectful but to him its funny. of course i still do refer to him as dad most of the time.) is so supportive of me and always has been. I am the daddys girl in the family and have always been really close. my love of golf comes from him and sooo many other things about him. He would do anything for anyone....He is a bishop and the best one. It will be so sad when he is not anymore, but he is always willling to do anything. I am so lucky to have him always watching out for me and doing the best things ever.
