The Parrillo Family

Recently, I shared some photos of our Spring Break trip to Walt Disney World .  In that post, I said that we spent *most* of our trip there.  Shhhsh...don't tell Mickey, but....we cheated on him.  We took our Harry Potter-loving daughter (Eloise) and the two emerging Potterheads (SD and Beef) and spent a couple of days in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.   We ate chocolate frogs, bought robes, used our wands, went through the train platform, were all STARTLED by the fire-breathing dragon and even snuck in a little side trip to Jurassic Park.  Here's Eloise getting startled by the dragon: And here's the kids heading off to the Hogwarts Express:

If you, dear reader, know one thing about our family travel you likely know that we do enjoy a good Disney Parks trip.  And, thanks to COVID, we haven't been able to - nor really wanted to - go since the summer of 2019.  But, this year, we had had enough and decided to spend our Spring Break (well...part of our Spring Break) down at the Vacation Kingdom in Orlando Florida.   We did all four parks.  Did all the stuff we love.  And, wore masks for a lot of it.  But, it was still Disney. And still magic.  (for us). The kids at the Magic Kingdom.
