We went to Universal Studios Hollywood this day. This was the nicest weather day of the week. Megan and Allie really wanted to go to Universal to see Harry Potter land, so that is where we started.
We decided to go on the rides first thing and then come back to check out the stores. I took Allie on the small outdoor rollercoaster while the others went on the big Hagrid ride. Allie loved the ride, and we were able to ride it three times in a row before the others were done. We then walked around a little while the others went on the small rollercoaster ride. 
We then decided to go down to do the Backlot Tour before it got too busy. We found out later that it really didn't get that busy all day. But I am sure we beat having a longer line later in the day. Our tour guide lady was super funny, and it was a super fun "ride" per usual. That really is the best thing to do at Universal Studios.
We then decided to go down to the other side of the park to ride those rides. We first checked out Super Nintendo World. None of us have been to this newer park, so we were excited to check it out. It was super bright and colorful, but we found they only had like two rides in the land. You could buy a wrist band to do different activities within the land, but we didn't want to buy those for one time at the park. The main was ride was pretty fun, but you had to wear a head thing that was really heavy.
We then had some lunch before going on more rides. They have a lot of rides that are screen based and cause me to get motion sickness. I would ask the worker to explain the ride to me and then I would decide if I wanted to go, or if Allie would go on the ride. 
Allie didn't want to go on the water ride, so I stayed off with her and then Margie and the others let Tony, and I go on it together. I really like that ride, but I didn't want to get wet. Margie brought her poncho, so she let me wear it when we went on the ride. So much fun. 
We then left that part of the park and checked out some more rides. We found the Pets Ride and Allie really loved that one. We went on it twice. We then went back to Harry Potter land to look at the land more closely.
Megan was able to look at all the stores and we even got some Butterbeer for everyone to try. Megan really liked it and loved walking around the park and seeing what things so might want for her souvenir. 
Once we had seen and done all that we wanted to in the park we decided to head out of the park by way of the main souvenir shops. Megan was able to find the things that she wanted in the store and was very happy with her purchases. 
The traffic was really bad to head back to the hotel, so we decided to find a place to eat dinner close by in hopes that the traffic would clear a little. Allie wanted pizza, so we found a local pizza place to eat. The pizza was pretty good, and it was nice to not be rushed to eat.
The traffic wasn't that much better, but at least we were not hungry. It took over an hour, but we finally got back to the hotel. The kids did some homework before getting some Italian Ice from Joe's. It was a fun day at Universal Studios.
