Busch Gardens, Williamsburg VA

Monday, we took a day trip to Busch Gardens Williamsburg with my Dad and Bobbie.  We've had this planned for a while, and the boys were so excited.  We thought by going on a Monday the park wouldn't be completely packed.  Ha!  It seems the whole world is on spring break this week (I thought our county was super late this year but I guess tons of other school systems must be closed by the size of the lines in the park).

Still, it was a GREAT day, and we really enjoyed the park.  I hadn't been there since I was four or so, so I barely remembered it.  Its a beautiful park; very picturesque with lovely gardens and lots of 'leisure' stuff for families to do together (train ride, boat cruise, zoo animals, etc.)... not just all thrill rides.  The boys went on a ton of rides with Grandma Bobbie and Andrew.   My Dad and I just sort of observed, especially after a topsy turvy ride early in the day on a flight simulator left us feeling a little queasy.   I've turned into a total ride wimp in my old age, ugh!  Its funny how your definition of a great theme park changes as you get older and bring your own kids.  I don't really care if I go on any rides; its all about watching my boys grinning from ear to ear all day. 

We stayed at the park almost all day... about 10 hours worth, and not once did either of them complain about all the walking.  This was a good measurement of how I hope they'll do in November when we go to Disney for the first time, with all that walking and super amounts of excitement.  I was very proud of them both; they did great all day at this park.  No strollers, either.  We did have to carry Logan's stuffed animals, since he won about four of them playing games.
















A great day, we just loved the park and can't wait to go back someday!

  5. Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to
    my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear."
    She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside
    and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I
    know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
