Busch Gardens

One of our 'must-do' family outings while in VA was to hit up Busch Gardens! We took G there when he was 8 months old, so knew it would be a slightly different experience now that our little man is 4 years old! And what fun we had...

We hit up the 4D adventure with Sesame Lights Imagination and of course grabbed a few silly pics!

We couldn't wait to head over to Sesame Land!!

Lucky us, we were greeted by Bert & Ernie!

Our furry little red-haired friend, Elmo...


And our ginormous feathered friend, Big Bird!

The one 'absolute must' on my list was taking pictures with the Clydesdale...the exact same family photo when Gavin was only an infant! (check album below)

The animals and reptiles were pretty interesting to look at,

Just walking through all the different countries brought back many childhood memories visiting when we were little kiddos!

My husband and I rocked these roller coasters!

The Griffin was the newest coaster that we saved for late night...and dragged my Mom on with us, lol! She was a good sport, and we were lucky to catch the firework display kick off while at the highest point of the ride! Awesome!
Here is what the ride looks like...

Of course we headed over to Dragon Land for some cute kiddie rides for my little guy!

An ice cream break, of course! ;)

AND there is always time for a few silly moments...

The heat was at its peak that day, so we sprinted back over the Sesame Land to splash in some sprinklers!

G's favorite is playing the cute games...something about those silly prizes that he just loves!

Feeling like kids in one of the greatest parks on the East Coast, we wasted no time enjoying every last minute!

We closed the place down!

Just like a few years prior, G was sound asleep before we walked through the gates!

Check out G's very 1st vacation album with memories filled from his very first outing in Busch Gardens! It's fun to see similar photos in this post, only when G was a wee little fella!
