Universal Studios Hollywood

As part of the GSK trip we were allowed to select 2 excursions. Shane and I selected a day at Universal Studios Hollywood. Yeah, yeah, yeah...they have a Universal Studios in Orlando, but that park doesn't have the studio tour. We met up with the group at 8am, connected with new friends Joe and Stacy from Ohio and headed north towards Hollywood. Our tour guide, Maureen, was awesome at narrating the sights along the way. After arriving at US we set off to explore Hollywood's most famous backlot in the worlds' largest working movie studio. The tour is about 45 minutes long and travels through various lots with a few attractions along the way. Our tour guide, along with Jimmy Fallon, narrates the history of the studio. It was sooo cool to see sets for Depperate Housewives, the courthouse scene from Back to the Future, Psycho & The Great Outdoors to name a few. Attractions along wht way include: King Kong 3D, plane crash from War of the Worlds, cars from The Fast and the Furious & Jaws. After the studio tour we saw Shrek in 3D, ate a Pinks hot dog, watched the Waterworld show, Special Effects Stage and the Terminator in 3D. Whew, it was a action packed day! We had sooo much fun hangin' out with our new friends Joe and Stacy! We headed back to the resort, where I crashed and Shane went to dinner. While Shane was at dinner, GSK dropped off some fun little goodies. Another fun day comes to an end!
