Last month, my amazing Pampered Chef consultant sister took me on her annual incentive trip to Coronado. We also decided to take an early side-trip to Hollywood and Anaheim to go to Universal Studios and Disney California Adventure!
We arrived in San Diego on Thursday and drove up Anaheim.

Then we headed down to the Lower Lot, to check out the other rides.

Jurassic Park had misting fans in the long lines.
We got SOAKED on the ride, but dried off very quickly since it was so hot. |
We checked out some shops in the Lower Lot after the Jurassic Park ride.
Then we headed back up to the Upper Lot and ran into Alex the Lion and King Julian from Madagascar!
Then we rode the Despicable Me/Minion Mayhem ride.
Before we left the park, we headed back to The Wizarding World for some shopping.

After dinner, we drove back down to Anaheim, to get some sleep for the
