Busch Gardens








We went to Busch Gardens on Saturday. The first picture in the bottom row is of the wolves they have on display there. The next is the Bald Eagle display, and the final picture is one of the roller coasters there. Brandon spent the day at the park from open until close (10am to 10pm). We didn't get there until noon because................I had this bright idea to get free tickets to Busch Gardens but we had to sit through one of those time share presentations. They told me it would only take an hour and they provided a breakfast buffet. I thought WOW! what a great deal, a great price for the hotel and 2 free tickets. Well it wasn't so great after two hours into it and I was saying "NO" I don't want this time share. Well after saying no they send another person over and after telling him NO they send the third person. This woman sits down and I say, "If you think you are going to get me to buy this you are wrong so don't even try." well she didn't like that so she says she is the final step then I can go. You guessed it she tried to get us to buy, now I am really not happy. After Chris said NO we finally got out of there, yes with our tickets. We headed right for the park. It was packed. We payed the $10.00 parking fee instead of $20.00 which was the preferred parking fee. We ended up parking in Italy. We had a great day at the park and saw Brandon a couple of times (a relief for Mom). I got to ride the rides with Nicole, we had a good time. The park is really huge. We met Brandon at the bus at 1opm and took him with us. We headed to Aunt Janet's in Maryland to spend the night. We didn't get there until 2am, after following the map quest directions, we were on some unique roads (cow paths Chris would say). We were thankful for the comfy beds and the wonderful breakfast. Then it was on the road again. We headed on 70 east instead of 70 west so we had to back track. We got home and changed clothes and off we went to Higins for a soccer game. The best part was they won 5 to 4. No wonder we are tired, what a huge weekend!
