I just got back from my vacation with my girlfriend to Orlando, Florida and a visit with Hogwarts. Needless to say, she's as big of a fan with Harry Potter as I am with History, so this was quite a trip for both of us.

It got even bigger, when, in front of Hogwarts castle...

Nice!

Congratulations. Hope she said yes.

Yes, she said yes.

After a few tears rolled down her cheek I asked for one more picture



She was still crying in this picture too but I told her to try to smile, people are taking pictures

It felt great, and nothing could have been better.

I enjoy the Dueling Dragons coaster. The main attraction was not open yet. Great park! Congradulations and many happy years.

As for us, we are driving out to San Diego with the kids. We'll take in Sea World, the Wild Animal Park, and the Zoo(maybe ). I've convinced my wife and daughter that they would enjoy seeing that Russian sub(the B39 IIRC) and the USS Midway as well with my son and I.

As long as we get to put our toes in the Pacific Ocean, I think we will all be happy.

Silly boy! If she had said no I doubt he'd be showing us pictures.
