Our "forever ago" Florida vacation

I am well aware that we took this vacation back in Sept.  I have so much to catch up on, so here goes:
Many of you probably know that I am quite the book nerd.  Harry Potter books are pretty high up on my list of favorites.  When I found out they were building a Harry Potter WORLD, I was quite beside myself. (all nerd comments are welcome)  I signed up on their website that would send out updates and how it was coming along.  One day I received an email that they were selling package deals to those of us that had been following along.  I called Nate, asked his opinion (luckily, he knows me well) and booked it right away.  The package included the following: 2 day park hopper passes, 3 nights at a on-site hotel, breakfast at the 3 Broomsticks in HP land, commemorative tickets, plus a few other goodies.  We already had our free ticket to Disney World for volunteering, so all we needed was to get there.  Luckily, I found some dang cheap flights.
This trip was truly amazing!  It was such a great time to bond with Nate, and luckily he knows how to keep up because I can be kind of OCD when it comes to amusement parks!  Another cool thing, we found out about a week before leaving that our friends, the Fishers were going to be down there the exact same time.  We were able to meet up with them the last day and go to the beach.  Totally unplanned, but so much FUN!  It was my first time at a FL beach.  So warm!
Well, here are some pics. It may seem like a lot, but I would say it is about 30% of what we took.  Enjoy!
