Since it was a holiday this weekend, I mean general conference, we took the opportunity to go to Williamsburg, Virginia. We went to Busch Gardens and enjoyed free admission thanks to the Salute to Heroes program.  I was all set with an electric cart to zoom around the park.  We have gone to Busch Gardens every year since Billy was about six months old, but we never went on a Saturday and we will never go again. The line to get into the parking lot was crazy long.  Then when we got up to the park entrance there was no power.  Billy had to go to the bathroom, but there were employees that wouldn’t allow anyone into the bathrooms.  Luckily when we got into the park there was power, but England was clogged up with people having to go to the bathroom.  As I zoomed around on my cart, I got a lot of stares. I guess they were wondering why I needed a cart as if having my crutches by my side and a cast on my leg weren’t clues.  I learned that people always think they can outwalk an electric cart and then they stop right in front of you.  I almost had a few run in’s, but thankfully I was paying attention.  On the up side, Baden went on his first amusement park ride. It was the in the Land of the Dinosaurs and called Eggery Deggery.  My mom took the boys on the ride and they sat in a broken dinosaur egg. The ride went up and down in a circle.  Baden thought it was a lot of fun.  He also enjoyed the carousel.  Bill got to ride some roller coasters.  We also watched two shows.  Billy got his face painted and then almost lost it when he couldn’t win a life sized Spider-Man.  It was really a crazy day. We wanted to go to one last show, but the line was really looong.  We decided to head for the hotel around 7:00 pm, but it was like swimming upstream.  You would think that if someone is in an electric cart people would move out of the way, but no they don’t.  The worst offenders were people with the double jogging strollers that just plowed through.  I got in a standoff with a double jogging stroller and I finally told the lady move so I can move.  I was this close to  swinging a crutch around.  Finally we got out of there onto the tram. That was the best ride of the day.  Overall, we had a good time and it was good to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather.  The hotel was a nice retreat and even though the people that work at the Sonic in Williamsburg don’t know how to take an order, the cherry limeade hit the spot.  Busch Gardens is a great place, but never on a Saturday!
