Upception Mash Up

I have been so busy lately, i hate when teachers give you aton of homework at the end of a term.  I feel like i barely have time to breath.  But i do have time to show you this amazing video.  For anyone who can’t tell, the audio on this video comes straight from the trailer for the movie “Inception,” and the footage comes from the movie “Up.” It is one of the best mashups I’ve ever seen.haha it makes me want to see both of the movies again.

Next Stop on the Hogwarts Express... AZKABAN!!

     So this last week i have been in the magical world of Harry Potter.  I drank butter beer, bought a wand, watched the triwizard contestants dance, bought a chocolate frog at Honeydukes, and even ate ate the three broomsticks.  I had so much fun, but so did the hundreds of people that were constantly around me.  There were SO many people there!  At one point the line for the harry potter ride was 120 minutes long!!  Luckily it did slow down and we got to ride it... three times.  But that is nothing compared to a guy we met while waiting in line.  He had ridden it a total of 120 times!  I loved every second of that place I know i sound like such a nerd, but it was one of the funniest things i have ever done.  Universal Studios is a fun place even without this new addition, but this is definitely the most fun.
             My first drink of butter beer, which is just cream soda with a butter scotch foam topping.
     Getting ready to go into honey dukes, which was so adorable inside!
     This is us drinking our butter beers in front of the three broomsticks
        The bridge to go over to harry potter land
    Ok this is not photo shopped at all!!!  I don't know how the light is so perfect and that is really the castle.  They did an amazing job.  Inside is the harry potter ride, as you walk to the ride they had pictures on the wall that talked to you and one part Ron, harry and Hermione talk to you and Ron messes up a spell and it starts to snow.  It was a really cool place, they spent 200 million making this and it really paid off.
     We got a picture with these guys after watching their little show.
   These pictures are out of order, but this is me eating at the three broomsticks
   This was where you could buy your wands and owls.  They had this cute show where 30 people would go into a room and one would be chosen to have a wand pick them.  Bekah was chosen and her first two wands messed things up and her third wand air started blowing on her and light shined down, just like the movie.  It was really cute and fun.  i ended up just buying Hermiones wand cause the wand that was supposed to be 'the wand that choose me' was really ugly.
