These past two weeks i got the amazing opportunity to travel to atlanta georgia and orlando florida! i went down to the south to go visit my sisters: tiersha & tahnee, and of course their kids. and i also went to work for tiersha. tiersha works for a business called lularoe, so of course photos & videos were the bane of our 2 weeks together. we modeled everything from dresses, to shirts, to leggings! they really do have it all.
the first weekend i was there we drove down to florida to go to disneyworld and harry potter world. WOW that's all i can say. it was so amazing. harry potter world is literally everything you have read in books & seen in movies come to life in this amusement park. at universal studios you start by being in a town in london, & then you move through the bricks into diagon alley. it's exactly like the movie. i had a couple tears here & there just because of how breath taking & magical the experience truly was. we went on the gringotts bank ride first, and that ride was amazing! it's like you're actually on the cart that would be in gringotts & you ride your way through the bank & you see harry potter and all the other cast members!
once we had finally seen everything in dragon alley, we took the hogwarts express over to hogsmeade. this is where i had my first butter beer. oh my word, nothing has ever tasted so amazing before. we then went on the dragon ride, where it portrays the dragons from the 4th movie. of course we chose the hungarian horntail. after this ride, we walked over to hogwarts & rode the ride there. oh my word, so many emotions. we actually got to walk through the castle & experience student life. it was oh so incredible. we even went into the classroom that the class 'defense against the dark arts' usually takes place in. this ride had you 'be on a broomstick' & you basically flew all over hogwarts & helped harry defeat voldemort. the ending of the ride was so good because it had the traditional harry potter ending music & it was just so nostalgic. i love harry potter. shortly after harry potter, we made our way through the rest of the park by starting with 'jurassic world'.
as we were in orlando, we couldn't not go to disneyworld! so we made a quick stop that sunday at the most magical place on earth, and wow i just love disney. we decided it would be best to attend the 'not so scary mickey's halloween party' which meant, our hours in the park would be from 4-12. this was plenty of time! especially for how not crowded it was. we got to go on every ride that we wanted to (except pirates of the carribean, yes still bitter), but the only thing that was killer in orlando was the humidity. it feels like a warm wet blanket is wrapped around you & it just gets hotter as the day goes on. you can't escape it.
after the fun in orlando, we made the trek back up to atlanta to finish our lularoe gig. we took so many pictures, i had to download my camera film 3 times. we also shot over an hour worth of video, so that was fun to edit down to 3 minutes! we also made stops to our favorite places, aka sprinkles, devinci's donuts, & shake shack. we also got to go walk along the belt line. this was a highlight for me in atlanta. i love the idea of old vintage things, & the belt line was just that! there was also this old sketchy piano along this path, & so of course i had to stop & play!
this trip to atlanta/ florida was something so fun to me, i had the greatest time with both my sisters. from pictures, to church, to surviving the humidity in orlando, this trip was a great last vacation before i leave in 23 days for my mission.
