England, day 16

Today is the last day of the CODA conference.  I ran 5 miles while Abby went to the events this morning.  At 1:30, it was time to board the bus (another one!-I am sick of buses by now...) to go to the Warner Bros. studio to see the Harry Potter experience.  Abby and I both enjoyed it!  They had different costumes, sets, etc on display from when they made the movies in the same studios.  It was cool to see how everything came together!  I took 200 pictures, only going to post a few :)

We tried some butterbeer!  The whipped cream had a butterscotch flavor to it and the drink tastes like a mix of butterscotch and root beer

It took us 3 hours to go through the whole exhibit.  It is highly recommended if you are in the London area!
