So for our 2nd anniversary Chris and I decided to take a trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Island of Adventure. But since our anniversary is in June we decided to put off the trip til September. Turns our it was PERFECT timing. The weather was nice (a little rain a few days, but nothing crazy) and the lines were RIDICULOUSLY short. We rarely had to stand in line and most of the time we could get off a ride and get right back on it!
Well if you didn't know already we are total Harry Potter Fanatics. Love the books, love the movies, love love love it. We have regularly scheduled "Harry Potter Weeekends" and we love playing our wizard chess and Harry Potter Scene-It. So.Much.Fun.
So for our trip we had to be prepared. We couldn't just walk on into Hogwarts unprepared for a little schooling! So we got to work packing up and double checking that our acceptance letters and "what to bring" was ready to go.

| Double Checking our List of Items needed. |
 |
| All packed up and ready to go! Opus is ready too! |
 |
| We took the Hogwarts Express Motor Vehicle Division as our way to get to Hogwarts. Complete with ticket to ride. |
 |
| Since we were only staying for the "fall interim session" we had guest passes to stay in a house. Our choice! |
 |
| Books, Wand, and Hogwarts Express Ticket. Ready to go! |
