Florida Photo Fest Part 1




Clay, Ellie and I took a little trip to Florida for a business convention. But mostly just for fun.

We traveled with one of our favorite families in the world—The Harrisons. These guys are the most hard-working, optimistic, grateful, happy people we know. We love them lots. Clay is so lucky to be close friends for the man he works for, and for our family to be close with this family. Talk about rare.

Here are some highlights from the vacay.


Universal Studios






The Barney Show—complete with hearts for the "I Love You" song
Ellie playing in Barney World. Best place ever for kids her age.




I don't think Ellie realized the gravity of the Barney-meeting situation. Did anyone else watch and love Barney as a kid? Even though it was is so uncool to admit it? 


Our favorite ride at Universal—The Mummy


We had some pool time ...




...then it was back to the park!


Welcome to Harry Potter World (such a cool, creative place, whether you are a Harry Potter fan or not!)


Here is a quick video of Harry Potter World so you can feel like you were there :)

Hogwart's Express


The Butter Beer was actually really delicious! Frozen is best.


Hogsmeade Village


The Three Broomsticks Restaurant

Some strange creature antlers in Three Broomsticks



Honeydukes Candy Shop




Inside Hogwarts on our way to the Harry Potter ride. The pictures moved and talked like in the movie—it was really cool!




The Harrison Clan (Minus Amanda and Brinley) Don't they just look fun?


Hagrid's Hut




Next up ... beach time and Cape Canaveral!
