July 4th!!!! continued!

Had a great 1st night in hotel. Happy Hour in very chic bar in lobby so we celebrated with wine and canapes there while the had themselves some kiddies "Margarita's". Headed across the road then to the Universal City Walk which was such a buzz! Found a great Irish Bar...serving only Deep South food so everything was blackened, cajun, etc. Kids freaked, so we thought we'd try to get into Hard Rock Cafe for the craic!

It was heaving! We managed to get a table ; ) in one of the best viewing points and straight after dinner, got to take our drinks out to a balcony overlooking the lake, just in time for the fireworks and the laser show! Fab night. We all fell into bed exhausted!!!

The excitement about the hotel was so funny!
