Post Universal Bar

 The place was pretty cool but not too busy. I guess that's to be expected for a Tuesday night, I suppose.

Chow down, little fella!

A pretty cool place!

Universal Studios: The Rest

 At the end of the day we said goodbye to Universal Studios and walked back through the Universal CityWalk, which looked pretty awesome at night!

They had a store there with tons of cool prop replica, including this crazy batman costume! They had a replica hoverboard from Back to the Future II, which is what initially grabbed Aaron's attention!

Exhausted, we finally headed home. What a fun day!

Universal Studios: Mario

 The newest part of the park is the Super Nintendo World. The entrance is a warp pipe you have to go through to get there!

It was pretty awesome to see all the crazy Mario level style in real life! As you can tell, Ledger and Marge were quite impressed.

Collecting coins!

Bowser's castle!

A panoramic shot of the whole land.

Adam and Ledger weren't up for the wait for the Mario Kart ride, but Aaron and I wanted to check it out. The two of them headed back to Simpsons land to go on a ride and we made our way through the wait. At one point the line is on the second floor and we got to look out to see this cool view!

Only about a 20 minute wait yet!

Out front of Bowser's castle.

The huge Bowser statue in his castle.
