My sister, Rachel, came to visit us for nine days! Its was awesome to have her and it made me realize how much I miss my family and wish we could see them all much more often!
While she was in town it was go, go, go! Her and I went to the beach one of the first days she was here, while Martin went to work (ha ha sucker!). Perhaps karma paid me a visit for teasing Martin about working because I suffered a severe sunburn and spent the next several days whining every timed I moved and proving that I am definitely not a true Floridian. But aside from the vengeful sun, the beach was wonderful, quiet and relaxing. Hurricane "something or other" was out in the Atlantic, as is the norm here in Florida from May to November, so the waves were quite exciting and my sister and I enjoyed splashing around in them!
Also during her stay, we played some putt-putt golf (where I lost shamefully), visited Downtown Disney, went to Sea World (my sunburn cursed me) and had a party!
I think one of the highlights of her vacation was our trip to Universal. As any Harry Potter fan could tell you, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened at Islands of Adventure earlier this year. Rachel made me wait until she could come into town to go, and even though I gave her a hard time about that, I'm glad I got to share the experience with her! They did an amazing job with the park. I got chills upon first walking under the Hogsmeade arch. I have to give the Universal peeps credit, they put a lot of stock in the details and any HP book reader will thoroughly enjoy it!
My Siddy's trip went by way too fast, but it was great! Just a reminder that all of our family and friends are always welcome to make the trip and our home is always open!
