Jesse and I went down at the end of december to spend some time with his family, in Fort Myers. I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was!  It was SO warm! I had NO CLUE what to pack, i was afraid everyone was going to be in parkas, even though it was 20 degrees. I think i managed ok though…  despite, once again, needing to borrow half of Jesse’s suitcase for the trip back… there are WAY too many outlet malls!  I think my favourite part was the manatees… There is this place, Appolo Beach, where there is a factory near by, and the ocean is SUPER warm, and all the manatees flock there… it was really cool! Although Jesse kept missing them, he didn’t even see one! It was like polkaroo!

p.s. I have totally fallen in LOVE with aerial shots. Isn’t that a weird name, Aerial? I feel like that is the TRUE spelling of the Little Mermaid’s name.

Here is the “ugly dolphin” commercial… hehehe manatees are really cute!

And some photos, of course!

Jesse’s phone camera takes excellent photos too! 

FOR POTTER FANS ONLY (or else you might think I’m crazy)

Oh My Goodness! Ever since I heard about HP world, it has been on my bucket list! I am an uber, ridiculously HUGE fan… SO big a fan, I have costume parties for every movie, waited in line for every book… Ok. So I had my day all planned out,  I had heard that HP world got really busy, so busy that sometimes you had to wait in line for hours. So I asked at the front if it was busy today, if it was, we would go there first thing, early in the morning. If it wasn’t, we would go later during the day, around 3:30, when the lighting was PERFECT. I didn’t want noon lighting. The darn lady at the front told us it wasn’t busy, and we wouldn’t have to wait in line. PERFECT! Jesse got us VIP tickets, so we wouldn’t have to wait in ANY lines for ANY rides, it was amazing! Jesse got this adorable evil grin when we breezed by all the 40-60 minute lines, for our 3 minute special line…hehehehe… We did Universal Studios in the morning/early afternoon in record time.. . So around 3:00 we got to HP world on the Island of Adventures, I was so excited, I RAN there. I was about to walk through, when this horrible, terrible man told me I couldn’t! He said it was too busy and we couldn’t get in! I burst out in tears! Even our special passes didn’t work, they were absolutely at capacity! Luckily, Jesse is excellant with tears, and we just had to wait until it WASN’T at capacity, and went in after an hour.

I was amazed to see all the adults there. 90% of the crowd was between the ages of 20-40, I felt like I was among my own kind! OH, and the Butterbeer? Cream soda with butterscotch whipped cream. I found that out the hard and confusing way. I knew the bottom part of it, the liquid, was vegan. I ordered it WITHOUT the cream on top. Apparently, they were not allowed to serve it like that, something about licensing. SO then, I asked for a straw. They told me they weren’t allowed to serve it with straws, it has to be drunk together. So I ordered it, and grabbed a straw from somewhere else. THATS when I found out it was just cream soda on the bottom, and THATS why they couldn’t serve it separately!

The rest of the park was everything I hoped for and more! It was a tad busy, so we went back right before the park closed, and we got a few tshirts…
