It has begun....the Adventure that is!

Happy Saturday to us! Islands of Adventure was todays pick! We had to park in the same parking garage..guess what...it was still $15 to park. I still wasn't happy about that, but the sun was out and I was on vacation!

We walked back through CityWalk again and this time headed around the lake to the left.
Islands of Adventure is made up of lots of roller coasters. Since we didn't have kids this time, we could ride them over and over again! The first one we tackled was the Hulk! The first time we rode we were a few rows back, but Pam immediately wanted to ride it again to be in the front row...so we did!
It twists and turns, swings you upside down numerous times and was probably our funnest ride all day! They gave us a hard time about Bob....but Bob survived as well!
Just in case you were wondering what to do with any prosthetic limbs...Obviously someone had lost a limb or there was serious bodily harm done for this 'rule' to be written. Weird!
Parker collects these flattened pennies. So every machine we went by, we made one for Parker!

These comic sayings were cute. Pam definately looks like she is having way too much fun!

I am sure I need this sign on the wall in my office! Do you think I could get it down and get it in the car? Probably not, with all the other luggage...but it was just a thought!

And I definately am sure that I need one of these! If anyone can find one, let me know! I could use it for many different things!

Thats always what I wanted! Batman and Robin....wearing ponchos in 90 degree heat in Florida! And Trey thinks that you could only see this in Johnston County.....well here's one for you!

I think everyone needs this...a People Dryer.....ha ha ha ha... Love it!

I never got into Harry Potter, but obviously everyone in the Park LOVED it. This was the most crowded part of the entire Park. We were definately up for the Harry Potter ride. It was posted as a 75 minute wait time but we kept moving the entire time and it only ended up being 40 minutes which seemed like 10. This was one of the 3-D rides. It was AWESOME. Even though you are in a car, you really feel like you are moving, falling, turning, etc. It was crazy....but definately FUN!

This was in the Poseidon area. We didn't ride anything but looking at this was crazy. You didn't really know what it was until you stood back and looked.
We pretty much tackled most of what Islands of Adventure had to offer. We got through most of the rides and ended up walking around for awhile.
We still had to drive to Port Canaveral after leaving and we wanted to get to Cocoa Beach early enough to get some pictures on the beach...so off we went!
Again...Nathan.....another glass....oh where to get one. We stopped by Jimmy Buffets on the way out, you know, cause Nathan is most important. And just think, we haven't even boarded the boat yet. I may have to get him his own piece of luggage to keep them all in!
Pam & Bob, taking a break....They have these chairs outside every Jimmy Buffets. Pretty cool and colorful! Love it!

Yes, even I sat down...if even for a little bit! But after walking all day, I didn't want to get up!

Pam found a perfect shirt for .......someone. Yeah, someone! Then we headed to Moe's at City Walk to eat. And you know, you walk in and its 'Welcome to Moe's'. Well little did we know that Moe from Moe's was going to fix our food. I knew Bob needed a picture! Then Moe figured out Bob had a Facebook page...and now they are friends! Bob is soooo international!

After dinner we headed to Cocoa Beach...again, where I was 3 months ago with Mom, and the kids.
