4th Vacation

We headed to Williamsburg this 4th for a mini-vacation. Not going to the beach this summer since we just went in late April. The kids really enjoyed seeing all the people dressed up in period costume.


In the gardens outside the governor's palace. The kids weren't really into touring old buildings and listening to people talk but we got through it. They were interested in the fact that the kitchen was separate from the house.



Our second day is Wmburg, we went to Water Country USA. Great water park but no pictures of the day. I was glad we got there early and were able to ride some rides with short wait times.

Day three we headed to Busch Gardens. I didn't realize but it's very much like Epcot which was our favorite Disney park. BG is set up into different countries. We walked the entire park. The above picture was taken in Ireland.


This was in the Land of Dragons, my dare-devil children especially Nor.


Tug showing off his mask in Italy. I really don't like these things. I guess it's too close a relation to clowns, but I humored him.


This was the dance show in Germany. We shopped Monday and then went back to BG Monday night. However, bummer, no fireworks, bad storm came through. We had to trek back to the car in rain, but at least I thought ahead and brought towels and an umbrella. Good thing for season tickets to Carowinds. Hopefully we can catch the fireworks there this summer. One thing we learned about this area of Va..........there is a pancake/waffle restaurant every 100 yards. Oh and no sweet tea for my poor hubby.
