The trip to visit Harry Potter World has been eagerly anticipated. We had a scare after Hurricane Irma roared through Florida and up our way. Was the park okay? Would the children still have those days off school? But all was well, and Friday, Oct. 13, 2017 was the big day! Very appropriate.
This is what Lily wanted to do to celebrate her 11th birthday. She has finished all the Harry Potter books, and Jacob and Corey have just finished #4, so they are very well versed in Harry Potter lore, and totally believe in that wonderful world that J.K. Rowling has created. And so, we’re off!
