We got an early start this morning meeting at Calvary Chapel of Oxnard at 7:30am and arriving at Universal Studios at 9am, just when they were first opening the gates.

Not many people were at the park that early, so we were able to get three rides in a short amount of time. We first did The Mummy, twice, and then rode Jurassic Park and got wet. Some of the people who The Mummy were not feeling that well afterwards because the ride is like a roller coaster. Their heads were still spinning and stomaches were a bit upset. But they felt better as the day went on.

We then rode the Studio Tour of the Backlot where many movies have been made and are still being made. There are several new attractions there since the fire that burned down many buildings in 2008. The latest one is King Kong 3D.

Later, we ate lunch and then split up into groups so everyone could do more of what they wanted to do. Some went on other rides and some went to shows.

At the end of the day, after playing in the water park at Universal, we met and went for dinner at Bubba Gumps where we ate tons of shrimp, fried potatoes and salad.

It was a long day and most everyone slept in the van on the way home.

Next is the Dodgers game!
