Busch Gardens

The McAllisters and the Mays (our next door neighbors) headed off last week for a long weekend in Williamsburg to visit Busch Gardens and Water Country USA. What a blast! The kids had so much fun and were so utterly and completely exhausted at the end of each day- it was great! Busch Gardens had a lot of rides suitable for kids, and is the prettiest and cleanest park I've ever seen. Water Country has tons of water slides, but also has three different "kiddie" areas with mini slides and shallow pools. Sean was in heaven. I didn't take any pictures at Water Country, (I'm pretty clumsy these days and I didn't want to drop my brand new camera in the water!), but just imagine Sean doing his signature arm flapping with a huge grin on his face for eight hours straight (we skipped nap time that day). By the time we were done, he was so overtired, overstimulated, and full of water that when we tried to take him back in the water the next day, all he wanted to do was sleep! I did manage to get some pics from Busch Gardens. Let me tell you- walking around for three days in the heat of August when you are eight months pregnant is not exactly what I would call a vacation, but seeing the kids have so much fun definately made it worth the while.
