I am writing this at the airport waiting for flights back home, so I will write some notes and clean it up later and add all the photos we took at Busch Gardens. The girls final day was spent at Busch Gardens for a day of fun. What does Busch Gardens have? What doesn't it have ... rides; zoo/animals; shows (musical & animal shows); well deserved greasy food and pop; shops; games; and people watching.
Some quick points/notes of things I noticed/enjoyed...
- groups of girls bonding and having fun- Kristen L ... so pumped/excited to be there
- GiGi & Brittany ... newbies on roller coasters --> they are now converted- Bub & Erin on the Shekrai ride closing their eyes at the top
- Erin has gotten over her fear of coasters ---> gone from crying on the first ride (wooden roller coaster called Gwazi) to riding the scary SheiKra (vertical "death drop") over and over again. Erin always used to stay behind and watch our bags and take photos ... now what do we do? She is always such good fun to make fun of and listen to her scream (and scream, and scream, and ...)
- Speaking of screaming ... Ms Hackett has a nice set of lungs- Garnet appears the most unafraid of the "big" rides (as opposed to Moira) ... see pictures below
- the effects on the Kumba ride slowed down many of our intrepid travellers
- the smells of number of smoke houses in the park (mmmmm)- a couple of us got stuck on the sky gondola ride for 10 minutes due to a malfunction
- the day ended on a bit of a downer when the skys opened up and rain /thunder/lightening closed the rides ... no need to go on the Congo River Ride to get wet
- the Gorilla and chimp enclosures are awesome
- many of us saw the cute baby white rhino
- we also saw our U15 and U16 "at the park
Given everyones energy level we headed back to the hotel for some order-in pizzas. We have to keep a bit of energy for our trip back to the "wet" coast for tomorrow ... this will be tough.
