Our luck changed with the rides, but not so for some in our group. One of the kids lost his lunch fromn the dizzying effects of one of the rides, or maybe it was those waffle fries, or both. Another family member nearly passed out from heat exhaustion and had to be taken to first aid for a few hours. The rest of us pressed on and, as darkness began to fall, we headed to Universal’s other park, Islands of Adventure. Almost everyone wanted to go on the Incredible Hulk roller coaster, but I had to pass on that one. Instead, I planned to check out the Christmas Shoppe, which I had spotted earlier on a park guide. “Don’t you want to go on the way out?” someone asked me. “No, no. I’ll go now and find the rest of you later.” I knew myself and Christmas stores too well. This one turned out to be a jackpot with one wall filled with the penguin ornaments on yesterday’s post and another wall with today’s six glass ornaments. There was also a tall display penguin tree with a story of its own.
