Not Quite Neverland…

This is certainly different from Neverland! We haven’t been to Universal for several years, so this was going to be a special occasion. It was all the more special because we got the spend the day with Shelly’s brother Nick and his partner Michael. It was a wonderful day together that we will certainly remember forever. We would not have treated ourselves to a Universal Studios visit, so it was a truly appreciated experience when Nick treated us to admission and other treats… what a great day. The main attraction for going into the park was to see the new Harry Potter section. It was absolutely amazing how they built the entire town and the castle.
