Wizarding World of HP
The afternoon before, we had udon with fatty ribeye. Aaaah the oily broth, heaven! The night before we dined at the 5 on the Hill overlooking the park and Universal city. The New Zealand lamb was tastier than the ones I had in NZ. The table had a gas fireplace in the middle which warmed us well since the evening was cold.
The next morning we drove along the Palos Verdes coast and paid a visit to the Point Vicente museum, which unexpectantly, had quite a few interesting pieces of megalodon, a fresnel lens and even a map and models of the CA Missions. We had lunch at Nelsons in the Terranea resort and strolled down to the beach where D and the Hip built cairns by the ocean.
The following morning, a short walk on the Santa Barbara warf and had the Craft Ramen with black garlic and pork shoulder and belly on the State St. On the way back, we did a quick stop at Solvang to get a bucket of Danish butter cookies.
Went over and over the decision to get Gryffindor or Slytherin. I like the Slytherin green better but the Serpent did not look well. Eventually decided on the Gryffindor colors, and purchased a backpack, drawstring and an athletic jacket. D got an interactive Holly wand and practiced a few spells!
Such a good outing! We all have enjoyed it tremendously !
