Sarah's Birthday, Universal and Isles of Adventure

Monday, October 15th was Sarah's birthday, so we stayed in Orlando and visited the Isles of Adventure and Universal Studios next door.
Since it was Monday, there were fewer tourists in the parks and the lines were much shorter per ride - 15 minutes waiting time max.
Still, there were more people than I expected, mostly the hundreds of Brits that we shared the park with, making good use of the favorable exchange rate between the Dollar and the Pound.

Sarah loved the Isles for the rides - I just watched her do the roller coaster rides, Dr. Doom's Freefall, The Dueling Dragons (Why voluntarily undergo heartwrenching, adrenaline-draining rushes?!) - and I've always wanted to visit Universal.
We saw some awesome movie sets and 3-D movies. They were preparing the park for Halloween Horror Nights and pull out all the stops! Fun to see.

It was a long 3-hour drive home after an eventful day...
