Jennifer and I spent most of the day at Universal Studios. It was a beautiful day with warm sunshine all morning and temperatures above 70 in the afternoon. Maybe the best part of Universal is the excellent job they've done with all the storefronts and fake streets to create the several "cities" that make up the sections of the park. I think we enjoyed the scenery as much as the rides we attended, although the inside roller coaster in the Mummy ride was cool, the Minions were lots of fun in the new Minions ride, and it was fun to remember ET in the ET ride (the one we remembered from some earlier visit to the park). For dinner we ate at the Lombard's seafood restaurant and had passes to sit on their deck to watch the Cinemagic Spectacular celebration of Universal Studio's 100th anniversary multimedia closing show. They have these giant rigs that produce a waterfall on which they projected their retrospective film of their 100 years of move making. All this was in their lagoon with dancing, illuminated fountains and fireworks shot from the roofs of two buildings. It was nice.We were very tired by the time we were heading home around 8:00. We had spent a lot of our time on our feet. But it was a nice day.
