This past Friday was a fun Friday. I went to Universal Studios with my friend Christy and her son Elvis. Christy and I went to college together and have since reconnected. I am happy about that. We had so much fun. I was able to get in for free. I got a free summer pass because of my employment. There are quite of few perks I can cash in on because of my occupation. I really need to cash in on them more often so hopefully that will change. Well, anyway, it was fun Friday for us. Got into Universal Studios for free...Wahoo! We rode quite a few rides, chatted quite a bit about everything under the sun, it was hot and it was so much fun! It's nice to be in a state where there are so many attractions and I have no problems being a tourist in my own state. I like going to Universal, Disney and what not because its fun. I know I can visit quite a bit so every time I go it is a fun time. I am relaxed for the most part because I know I can come back again multiple times. So "no hurrying to every ride to make sure I do everything" attitude here. Haha! We rode Disaster, Men in Black, E.T. and saw the Shrek 4-D and Animal shows. All the shows and rides at Universal are based off of the movies so the park resembles a back lot or production studio. They actually do have live studios there that movies are filmed in so it's not just an amusement park. I had the fabulous opportunity of playing the part of a "villain" in the disaster ride show. They show you how they make movies, particularly movies that feature some kind of "disaster". Hence the name, haha. It was fun...I wore a white coat, a hard hat and plastic glasses. When the movie was shown at the end of the ride, it looked as though rocks were falling on us, the villains. It was fun. I've always wanted to take part in one of the rides and I finally got my chance. Then Christy's son, Elvis, took part in the Animal show. He was excited. After we left Universal we hung out at her house. I enjoyed just sitting around, chatting, laughing and watching her boys play in the backyard. Wonderful end to a fabulous day.
