- Hi! We are the Plunks: Jennifer, Jeff, Matthew and Maddie! Welcome to our blog. I started this blog to chronicle our service dog adventure, but it has evolved into a place for me to jot down my thoughts... about autism, parenting, family, working, but mostly about celebrating life and the God who gifted us with it. Enjoy the ride!

Our Trip to Universal Orlando Resort
We arrived at the park and rode our very first intense dark ride, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. That was so COOOOLLLLL!!!!! Then we rode on a tame little ride called Flight of the Hippogriff, and then we went on the BEST RIDE EVER!!!!!!! DRAGON CHALLENGE!!! Your feet dangle, and it had loops and stuff. We loved it! Then we rode it again and visited Jurassic Park (which was fun) and then we explored the rest of the park, discovered the ancient ruins of Poseidon's temple, and then ate in a fake cave. Then we rode some more, went back to our hotel, ate some Pizza Hut pizza, and then watched the fireworks from our room and went to bed. The following day, we went to Universal Studios, where we were transformed into Minions (and then back in to humans) and rode the Hollywood Rip-Ride Rockit (another AMAZING roller coaster) and rode on it again and again before it malfunctioned (but we had a good day anyway). We went out to eat a good meal at a seafood place on their false lake. We were "extras" in a "movie" and got to see 100 years of amazing filmmaking glory at night; the "dreams that can only be...Universal." Then we returned to our hotel and slept. The next day we returned to Islands of Adventure, where we got to ride yet another great roller coaster, the Incredible Hulk. Then we got to see what it was like to be Spider-Man, and rode Forbidden journey again and went to every park attraction (save for those in The lost Continent), and got to buy a little candy for the long ride home. Then we returned to the hotel. The next morning, we left for home, and the rest is history. All in all the trip was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
