A Surprise return To The Beach Club - Day 12

[MrsBC]

Another gorgeous morning - the weather has been amazing for November! We were off to Universal again, so we set off straight after breakfast at the Marketplace, earlier than last time in case it was manic again, especially as it was Memorial Day and Universal do a Memorial Day parade. Traffic was better today , and when we got there the queues for security were really short so we were in quickly. Still don't know why Monday was so busy!
We walked around the lake to the Simpsons area, and had a look around and took photos before queuing for the ride, we didn't wait too long and all loved it - it's always a great ride. We then put our stuff in lockers and went on Men in Black - I'm always worst at these rides but I like them! None of us wanted anything fried for lunch so we went round to Beverly Hills Boulangerie, the food is always really fresh in there - We got 2 turkey croissants, DH and I shared one and I had Key Lime pie while he enjoyed chocolate cake and we all enjoyed a rest from the heat. We checked where the parade would be and got a spot , but hardly anyone was waiting - or even watching when it started, it was very patriotic. We decided to do the Simpsons again before moving onto other areas, and got right into the ride room when I suddenly felt unwell so I left the other 2 - they were in the car already - and sat outside till they came off. It was strange, I just felt that I wanted to lie down, my legs felt like lead and the thought of going on rides was horrible. On Monday it was DD who wasn't well, now me - the curse of Universal! Anyway DD said she'd go off and do her own thing while we took it easy, I wanted DH to go too but he wouldn't. After a cold drink we went into the Horror Makeup show, followed by ET - hardly a ride!, Animal Encounters show and kept stopping for drinks etc. In the meantime DD had been on Spider-Man, Kong, back to Harry Potter, both sides, and other rides. She bought a Hogwarts hoody, and had snacks and butterbeer to keep herself going. Eventually we rode the Hogwarts Express over to meet her, and waited at Starbucks with coffees and DH got a Cinnabon till she was ready before browsing the shops on the way out. I was really disappointed that we hadn't spent the day together doing all the rides as we planned but it was just one of those things! So I still haven't been on Kong or Jimmy Fallon. We went straight back to the Beach Club instead of going for a meal and I was in bed and asleep 20 mins after we got back. They both went for food just in the resort - it's been a long day!
