Islands of Adventure
Wednesday was a day full of action at Universal Islands of Adventure!!! This was a day that the Mashburn Men have been anxiously awaiting for many weeks now…there are roller coasters everywhere and they totally love that!
Here is a picture of the boys watching the HULK roller coaster about 7 years ago…that was then… 
this is now…in the SAME spot looking at the roller coasters at 14 and 12 (oh my goodness they grow up fast, don’t they?)
Bailey hasn’t been able to ride the Incredible Hulk Roller Coaster in years past (height requirement), but this time he was able to get on there and enjoy it with the other Mashburn Men!
The guys are soaked to the “bone” (get it, they’re in the DOG house) after riding Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls…(too much water for me…ick!)
This is one of our all-time favorite rides, but the wait was like 45 minutes, and it’s just not worth it when you have season passes to wait that long! Sorry Spidey…we’ll hit it next time for sure!
The kids suggested we take this picture with the GRINCH…do you think they are trying to tell us something? Subtle boys, subtle!
You know what’s so AWESOME about going to the theme parks as a travel professional? They offer special deals and incentives to you and your family so you can come to the park at discounted rates! (Yep, I am totally serious…Disney, Universal, Sea World…)If you want to find out how you and your family can take advantage of the specials and deals that are available to travel professionals then you should take a look at what this business can do for you!
If you want to find out “Why This Business” is so amazing go over to my travel blog, Mel’s World Travel Biz, and find out how we are able to take a 9-day vacation at a fraction of the retail cost, enjoy traveling as an insider, and also write off 60% of it on our taxes (because we have our kids with us, otherwise it would be a total write off).

Enjoying the theme parks,
I am very glad that your family is having fun, love you my friend.
I loved being there. Your pictures brought back memories from being there.
Thank you so much for the book! I am going to look through the material and look forward to reading the book too!
Have a great time away.
I love love love this park! The Hulk is one of my very favorite rides, too! The pic of your boys sitting in the same spot years apart is too clever. Actually, while at Disney this week, I told my two that I wanted their pics in the stockade. DS 3 said, You have that pic already…I said, “yeah, but each year you FIT in it better!”
Glad you had such a good time.

What fun you are having – I like the grinch picture.
It looks like so much fun! I love the picture of the boys when they were young – priceless!
Amusement parks have never been “my cup of tea” although I’m sure my kids would love to take a trip there. My favorite vacations include lots of historic stops.
You guys look like you are having a wonderful time.
