We are very fortunate that we get to go to Disney every year. This year was a trip for my son Ryan who graduated from UNH on May 21st. He loves roller coasters so this is a Universal/Disney trip. We are very proud of him:

This pic was taken later in the day at my MIL's house.
It was a great day. We thought it may rain in the morning but then the sun came out & it was a good day. After graduation we did go to a memorial service for one of my BF's that lost her husband in March. It was bittersweet as it was a great day that Ryan graduated but very sad for all as we miss Rich. He was a funny "life of the party" kinda guy & was a great husband & dad to Angie, Rich & Alex. So we spent the afternoon as Angie's moms house. We stayed there longer than planned as I still had some last minute things to do before we left. We got home around 4:00 & I still wanted to clean & do some last minute packing. I did not get to sleep until midnight & we had to get up at 2:45 am!!
When planning for the trip we decided to get an early morning so we would have most of our first day at Universal. We were at Universal for 2 days & one night. We stayed at Hard Rock Hotel for the night so that we could get front of the line passes. Boy was that great!!! We did not wait for anything. It is expensive to stay onsight but when you need to take advantage of the time it really is great.
Anyway we were all up at 2:45 & ready by 3:15. Our car service came to get us by 3:30 & we were at Logan airport by 4:50. We made great time. We were having breakfast by 5:20 at Johnny Rockets & our left a couple minutes later than scheduled. We were supposed to leave at 6:39 but we took off at around 6:50. Here are a few pics from the plane:
Getting there:
Almost there:
We waited about 10 minutes for our luggage as we were going to Hard Rock Hotel. Our driver was there waiting with us. We hired Ed Korgan & they were great. This is our ride:
It was a 20 minute ride to HRH & our room was not ready as it was only 10:45 so we left our luggage & headed off to Islands of Adventure!!
Coming Up:
What do we ride first???
Where do we have lunch??

And I made page one! 
We're going to try to go to bed early, so Jill and John (the drivers) will be semi-rested. I predict that I will be lying there staring at the ceiling. 
There were yellow cards given out during the first half & then a kid on the other team got a red card & was out of the game & the next thing you know some of the kids from our team punched some of the kids on the other team & it was a brawl. Luckily Cody basically stayed out of it. He tried breaking it up in the beginning but then just stayed back. They ended up calling the game & it was only the beginning of the second half. There are a few hot heads on our team that need to learn to calm down!! Not good sportsmanship at all.
Cody was very upset that his teammates acted the way they did. I hope the next game will be better. I will be working but DH will be bringing him.
I told you he is the comedian of the family.
For 3 trips!!!!
