Recently I decided to get a season pass to Busch Gardens. I wasn't sure how A would like it, or if there would be enough for a kid his age, but I decided that since Disney is a little out of our comfort zone right now, this was a good way to ease in to the amusement park experience.
Wow. First, I have always loved BG. It's shady and fun, and walking around is enjoyable. I love the idea of visiting different countries and experiencing their food and fun. Second, A clearly agrees with me.
We started with the train ride. It gave me some time to look at the map, and this guy wasn't going to complain. If we had done nothing but ride the train all day, I think he would have been happy! We opted for one ride around the whole park (20 minutes). The best part? The conductor gave him a high-five! What more could a 2 year old ask for?!
Next up we decided to meet the horses. Petting the Clydesdales was fun, as was his first real ride: the Li'l Clydesdales. You can tell he's a fan.
And of course since we had passed Sesame Place on the train, we couldn't skip it. So, here we are in Sesame Place riding the big ride (I sat next to him on this one)...
and then meeting big Bird and Abbie; sadly, Elmo was on break. We'll meet him next time!
Then it was off to Italy for the balloon ride...
and Germany for the planes.
After 3 hours we had had enough and were getting hungry. Rather than end up with a cranky toddler, we headed out in search of dinner. In all we had a fabulous trip. We'll go back in a few weeks and teach his big cousin all about it. I'm sure he'll be a pro and want to show it off to everyone :)
