Busch Gardens

This past weekend Peter and I took a fun little trip down to Williamsburg, VA. It's only about 2 1/2 hours from where we live and it's absolutely beautiful. It was such a peaceful drive as we drove through the deep forests with the leaves changing colors. The main reason for going was to go to Busch Gardens. Peter was able to get free tickets for us, since he's in the Air Force. Yeah, they are honoring America's heroes by giving them and their dependants free tickets once a year. On Peter's admissions ticket it said Hero:Peter Bell. It's great and kind of funny at the same time. I mean he's always been my hero, but..... OH CHEESE BALL.

Anyway we had the funnest day walking around and riding the rides. I have not been to an amusement park in so long. Check out this one, it's called Griffon. It takes you to the very top and then stops and holds you there for about 8 seconds. SCARY! Speaking of scary they had the park all decked out for the Halloween season. They had people dressed up in creepy outfits walking around and jumping out of bushes and stuff. This guy was super creepy. He would stand there and just stare at everyone and then after a while start walking towards someone. Other people were dressed up as bushes or scarecrows and just blended into the background and then all of a sudden jump out as someone who wasn't paying attention. It was so funny watching people get scared.

I was so impressed with this park. They have great food, shopping, musical acts, etc. We tookj a break from walking around and saw the musical and dance act, Monster Stomp. We stayed the night in Williamsburg that night and then attended church and Peter's favorite Chinese restaurant before heading home. It was so great to just be able to do something fun with each other. It beats the usual Saturday chores and studying!
