The Wizarding World

 

For family vacation this year we went to Florida and to... THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER. Lucky me we were even there on my birthday! Immediately I got a wand from Ollivanders, I went with Luna Lovegood's wand. Then we made all the magic things happen. There are want movements you have to do correctly to create the magic, whenever someone got it on their first try it was awesome! Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade were very immersive and although crowded we enjoyed it a lot.

 

 

The butterbeer was perfection, the rides were fun & I loved the Hogwart's Express train ride. They did call us muggles though and I was very unhappy- I have a wand, I'm in Diagon Alley OBVIOUSLY I'm not a muggle! I'm a wizard, I even got a letter delivered to my desk the day before I left from an owl. My amazing friend Liz assisted in the delivery :)

 

 

But mostly I loved seeing my family! Look at that gang!

The dragon escaping Gringott shoots fire!

Before we left for family vacation Joshua threw a little brewery shindig for me at Northwest Peaks. We ordered pizza and ate leftover cake drenched in ganache and chatted in the sunshine. It was lowkey and happy. I very very much enjoyed it!
