Day 5: June 21, 2019
Our last full day was filled to the brim with Universal Studios! Everyone was up and ready for the park just after opening. They took to the far corners of the park to see everything from the Universal Backlot tour that exposes all the technical parts of movie making and the secrets behind some of the special effects to taking in the park rides, the town settings and the shows. The backlot sets revealed the neighborhood street set from the Housewives TV shows, the shark from Jaws, the water effects in a Mexican town, specialized cars from Back to the Future, Magnum PI, the Flintstones, and loads of other shows. There are never enough rides or too much crazy food (Voodoo donuts vs. Homer Simpson's giant donut?). The travelers put their all into this day and came back with smiles on their faces and goodies in their bags. A wonderful grande finale to end their California adventure!!!
