Busch Gardens, Williamsburg

Last weekend, my family and I went to

Busch Gardens

& Colonial Williamsburg (post coming soon). It was such a blast and ended far too soon. This was my first trip to Busch Gardens, so I was really excited! The weather forecast said it was going to rain most of the day, but we had already made the drive out. So we grabbed our jackets and went, anyways, and it ended up being perfect! The morning rain kept the crowds away and it warmed up in the afternoon without getting too hot. We were able to walk on every ride and sometimes we just stayed in our seats and went again.

I loved walking through all of the different countries, it reminded me of

Disney's Epcot

. Each country had their own food options, but we chose to eat bbq in "France" (which is more like a French-Canada). It had been years since I had ridden a roller-coaster, so we made sure to hit them all. We all agreed that "The Griffin" is the best (and most thrilling) roller-coaster there.

We ended the day by grabbing some sweets in the confectionary on the way out of the park. I opted for some chocolate covered strawberries on a stick, such a good choice. Then we made the drive home.

My nieces are the two on the outside.

You can see my sister waving on the end, her husband is next to her.

This shot is a total blooper, but I couldn't resist sharing. haha
