26 / Universal Studios Orlando

Well, I am slowly but surely getting caught up on blogging!

On my 26th birthday (OMG 26?! Old.) I woke up in Daytona Beach Florida! We were visiting my brother and his wife and enjoying a nice big family vacation. This is the first birthday that I woke up with some extra sweet snuggles! 

I woke up to an alarm on Brandon's phone. (Excuse me what? No alarms on vaca.) And this awesome card surprising me that we were spending the day at Universal Studios! The most hilarious about part about the card was it said, 'Even though Jaxon & Trigger can't be here, I figured we can spend your special day with a few other characters!' So funny! 

We had an incredible day!

When I was 5 or 6 we vacationed in Florida and mom and dad brought us here. It was crazy to be back and remember bits and pieces of that first trip!

We got fast passes, food & drink passes. The fast passes were incredible. They're 'skip the line' passes! It was pretty hot out that day, so it was nice being able to jump ahead. :)

I got to wear a birthday button. Every time any staff member passed me they told me Happy Birthday! Pretty neat.

Kristina and I by The Mystery Machine!

Green Apple Spark kept me going all day!

The rides were incredible. I do NOT do roller coaster but I can do rides all day long! I think my favorites were despicable me, the simpsons, and transformers!

That night we went back and hung around the pool and grilled some kabobs!

For the past 3 years I told everyone that I either wanted a cookie cake or ice cream cake. For the past 3 years I got ice cream cakes. So this year I only requested a cookie cake. And boy did I get one... This was no WalMart / Kroger cookie cake. This thing was massive. And cake like. Not flat at all. My poor brother was a couple weeks out from a body building competition so he just had to sit and drool. Lol Love ya! (He got his after his comp though.) It was gooey in the center. Yum. When you eat clean 80% of the time, this is a reeeeeal treat! Thanks to my awesome family for making my day so special. It was already going to be great having the family together, but you guys made it even better!
