We drove the two hours straight from DC to Williamsburg and spent the night there so we can meet up with the older Ochoa fam the next day for an adventure filled day at Busch Gardens.
My niece Katie convinced me to get on this ride, the Alpengeist, at the front row with her. Stupid! I had awoken with a headache earlier that morning and it did nothing but terrify me and aggravate the pain in my head! Other than the kiddie rides to accompany my girls, it was the one and only big kid ride I went on that day. Boooo, Missus Och!
The kids, including Dylan with his newfound bravado hopped on this one called the Loch Ness Monster.

Checking out the park map to decide what coaster to ride next.
While the big kids abandoned the slower moving adults, we went our separate ways to entertain the little ones. We headed down to the Sesame Street themed Forest of Fun area. We discovered the place had a water playground complete with fountains, sprinklers, and all sorts of get-you-wet accoutrements. Seeing as my girls are averse to water being sprayed everywhere, we set them loose into it, thinking (stupidly) that they would just merely splash their feet in the little puddles. WRONG!
The two proceeded to get soaking wet on purpose! I was forced into buying a towel and new Sesame Street clothing (eeew). 
We rode on some kiddie roller coasters and Sophia (Liv refused) cuddled with a number of the mascots.
This is the big daddy of the roller coasters here called the Griffon. It is the world's tallest floorless 260 foot 90 degree drop roller coaster. Mister Och got bullied into it by niece Katie. Initially, he had his reservations, but afterwards they raved about it for the rest of the day.It was great fun, as always. We drove back to home base (3.5 hours, yuck) and called it a day.
