We took a weekend trip to Orlando, just two hours south of Gainesville, to visit Universal Studios.
This fountain created a vapor mist that attracted kids of all ages. It was so hot there--95 degrees or more both days!
I got a "cheeseburger in paradise" at Jimmy Buffett's restaurant, the "Margueritaville."
We had our picture made with the Simpson Family. The Simpson's Ride was a lot of fun. It was a simulated roller coaster ride that felt just like the real thing, except that the Simpsons were in the car in front of us!
The Blues Brothers drove up in their very cool car.
Their show was so entertaining we watched it twice.
There were classic cars parked all over the park. Here's a 1957 Chevrolet, just like the one we had when I was 15 years old.
Two more vintage vehicles were parked outside Mel's Drive-In.
This animal actor was taking a bow after his performance.
Yes, I think so. They said that this was a working set. They had streets simulating NYC, San Francisco and Hollywood, plus some sound studios, which are enclosed sound proof buildings where they shoot indoor scenes. It was a lot of fun. Your kids would LOVE it.

It looks like y'all had a lot of fun! I wish I could have been there, too!!
Is that the same Mel's diner where Alice and Flo worked? It looks like a lot of fun!
