We were all so looking forward to Universal and it was really a letdown. We were there more than 12 hours and only went on four rides. The lines were SO LONG. And there were so few of them. Almost the entire park is filled with shops. Like I really want to spend $100+ (per person) for the opportunity to go shopping. I don’t know if it’s always like this or if it was just especially crowded because of the holiday, but even though we thoroughly enjoyed the rides we went on, it wasn’t worth the 8-10 hours of standing around to ride them. We are all exhausted. Not a total waste. We did have fun. It’s just that 90% of our day was wasted standing in line. Could have been worse.

We went to the Jacksonville Fair today. I haven’t been to a fair since Robin was a baby. Highlights for me included my deep fried Twinkie and a ride called the Hydra, which was by far the scariest ride I have ever been on. It spun and swung and went just a little bit upside down. Robin wasn’t having any of that, but Christina liked it. We saw a bunch of the shows too, including a sea lion show and pig racing. I could have stayed another couple of hours to go on more rides, but I think the food and rides were catching up with everyone. I’m so glad we went.
