Universal City Walk*pics* (Vaca #17)
Dear Diary,
I think the vacation entries are officially out of hand but I’m almost done….
Thursday of Spring Break we headed to Universal Studios Hollywood. Of all the attractions included in the CityPass I was the least excited about this park but it was still a really nice day overall.
What I Wore….
Coloring is a bit funny…
We said goodbye to my lovely Aunt that morning…
Somehow I had never heard about City Walk at Universal. Honestly I’ve never been a big Universal fan. I’ve never really searched for much info about it and my curiosity isn’t really peaked at it’s mention. That said, I’m still surprised I knew nothing about City Walk! Last time I visited I think I was about 17. All of this is new since then….
Before you even enter the park there is a huge shopping / restaurant area similar to Downtown Disney but for Universal….
Restaurants like Buca di Beppo….
and Hard Rock Cafe…
A better view of Hard Rock…
Everything is pretty "over the top" and that’s a lot coming from me…
I thought this area with Johnny Rockets and Jamba Juice was cute…
Shopping…. The Los Angeles Sock Market….
Ben and Jerrys…
A billboard….
This was very cute…
This is the first LUSH storefront I’ve seen. I hear people talk about their bath products and it seems like most order online.
Hello Kitty!
For warm weather there is an area with sidewalk bubblers for kids to play in…

I know the one in Florida, but, except for the BIG area of bubbles where the grandchildren played, I avoided it like the plague. I loath shopping. Loved their Islands of Adventure though.

-cont especially the Suess area. I thought that the design of the park, the execution of themes and the overall comfort was better at Universal than at Disney. My grandchildren (then 5 – 17) and I very much enjoyed the star wars area, and the aladins bazars. I wish I weren’t too old to go back. I woud love to explore the Harry Potter stuff. Did Reagan enjoy Suess?

I love Lush — and am pretty spoiled. We have several in reasonable distance in Chicago or the suburbs. I’m not sure if you went in, but they give a GREAT hand massage demo. 🙂

I been to the one out here in Orlando. I didn’t stay there long since it’s not much to do at least not at the Orlando one. Not sure about the one in CA.

I just love that grey polka-dot dress! Polka-dots are my absolute favorite pattern! You look so cute in that outfit. Thanks for sharing all the great vacay pics!

We have three Lush stores in Chicago. I first experienced it by ordering in online but I’ve bought a lot since moving here. I use their shampoo, bath bombs, body scrub bars, etc.. Amazing stuff! Ashley
