Busch Gardens Christmas Town

7 Comments

This past weekend we went with our friends the Wendorff’s to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA. We had been planning on leaving Saturday morning and coming home Sunday morning but on Thursday I got a surprise text from Ben saying he wanted to leave ASAP. haha (This is coming from the man who hates even leaving the house on the weekends.) He had been working on his final  all week and once he finished he said he wanted to get out of town. So….after rearranging some plans and stressing about cleaning and packing we left Friday morning. We stayed at the Historic Powhatan Inn again. It was a wonderful weekend full of family time!

Breakfast stop at the Waffle House. We were greeted with a good morning from the cook and everyone there seemed to know each other. I loved it! They spoke in southern accents and were super friendly. Makes me want to try living in the south! Funny story: While we weren't looking Hallie started eating spoonfuls of salt and pepper. haha Are we bad parents that we laughed when she started coughing after eating a spoonful of pepper. 🙂

2 days of indoor swimming. Hallie was in heaven and never wanted to get out. Ben found a little swimming noodle on the 2nd day and Hallie took off swimming all by herself. Seriously she's two! Is she supposed to be doing that already? She was loving life!

Kyle went swimming too! However, unlike his sister, he got wore out kicking his cute chubby legs and took a nap.

Saturday afternoon/evening we headed over to Busch Gardens Christmas Town celebration. It was pouring rain but we had already bought the tickets so we decided to go anyway and pray that it would stop raining while we were there. No luck!

Hallie rode the bumber cars all by herself. She did great but as I suspected she got upset when other cars ran into hers. lol

Hallie's favorite ride was the airplanes. Ben was a proud papa when she pulled her joystick and got her plane to go high.

We had a lot of fun. The cold never even phased Hallie. I on the otherhand complained the whole time. Ben explained to Hallie that He and Hallie were strong when it came to the cold but Mommy was a wuss. I agreed! I have no tolerance for the cold!!!  Thanks Wendorff’s for inviting us! We can’t wait to go back in the spring and try out all the roller coasters.

  1. I don’t like being in the cold either. I complain from the very beginning. But Noelle doesn’t even mind it and loves playing in the snow.

  2. Looks like you guys had a blast! We love Busch Gardens. I can’t believe Hallie was riding those bumper cars! What a big girl!

  5. Looks like fun. I hope we can catch each other in Utah… We are leaving Orem and going to St. George either on Christmas day or the 26th. I would love to meet your cute kiddos!
