yay!! day 3 is here! monday feb 23!!
We started our day off as usual with breakfast in the Hard Rock club level lounge and headed back to Universal to do the things we had not done yet.
First we went to Terminator 2, which had been there on my last trip when i was like 10...and i remembered T2 to be terrifying....but it wasn't bad...
Then we headed over to Jimmy Neutron....it was cute....definetly directed towards the younger crowd. although my sister loved the spongebob part...
i thought the chicken dance part was cute and spongebob was waiting for his loyal fans at the end of the ride....we all took photos...(by the way...those are coming soon!!)
We then caught the Horror Makeup show, which was pretty funny. It is probably one of Universal's best kept secrets. I enjoyed the show....I would recommend it!
Next we ate at one of the walk-up windows in the carnival town next to the Jaws ride..
..we got a few orders of chicken fingers to tie us over.....they were very yummy 
After we ate, I pushed the entire family over to the long awaited Ghostbusters show. and i must say i was highly anticipating this show because of the intense enthusiasm that some members of this board have for the show (cough* fly fly* cough)
but i must say i was a tad disappointed. i was expecting this awesome show....but it was just a bunch of cute guys dancing and singing to pop songs. i enjoyed it....but wouldn't make it a highlight of every trip.....more like one of those things you do once and savor the memory...
We then rand back to MIB and tried to boost our scores....this time dad was the highest in the car with 296,000...good job daddy!
After our last little visit to Universal, we headed back to our favorite park....Islands of Adventure....We headed straight for the Hulk, as we did everytime we entered the park...gosh i love that ride!
We then did a repeat of Spiderman and afterwards Mom and Dad went to the Jurassic Park museum (BORING!!!) and us kids went to the Dueling Dragons yet again!! we met back up again.....planned to eat at Mythos but couldnt because it was closed...
so we left the park and ate at NBA City...
It was alright....not the best but not the worst....the best part was when our waitress was describing a picture where a basketball player looked like he was flying and then it got quiet and she says "I wish I could fly..." it became one of the many jokes of the trip....
After eating we travelled back to Islands where Devan, Matthew and I rode Popeye....we got soaked....to the bone....but it was SO funny....matthew and I walked around Olive Oyl's boat, which is mainly a kids play area...but we still had fun!!!
Then we went on the flying unicorn....another kiddie type ride but fun nonetheless!!! after the unicorn we did dueling dragons yet again (one of each) and matthew and i decided to do a repeat of blue while mom dad and devan sat out.
afterwards matthew devan and i went on the hulk yet again while mom tried unsuccessfully to drag my dad away from the fudge shoppe
we left the park after that, where mom dad and devan went back to the hotel and matthew and i walked around citywalk.....we hung out in the universal store and explored other little shops. we headed back to the hotel at about 8pm.
once we returned, everyone showered and headed to the lounge for some snacks...then we headed downstairs where mom dad and devan had a little ping pong tournament and matthew and i invented a new way to play shuffleboard (since neither one of us knew how to play anyway)
after fun and games we investigated emack and bolios.....if you really want coffee.....be prepared to pay a hefty price for it!! i work at barnes and noble cafe where we make starbucks coffee....and the prices of starbucks and E&B's was almost double ours!! very expensive for a cup of coffee....
but after we all headed back upstairs to get a good night's rest before our final day in the parks....
AWESOME VACATION - Day 4 - HRH CLUB coming soon!!
