We left home at 9:10 (10 mins past Rob’s goal time 😊) and made a pit stop at Coco Cinnamon. Once we got into Williamsburg, we made our traditional food stops at McDonalds (for Clark), Taco Bell (for Colin) and the Pho restaurant, Chopsticks for Rob and I. After a good lunch, we made our way to the water park (Busch Gardens was crazy busy). We forgot our annual passes at home, but got news ones fairly quickly and were surprised that the water park wasn’t insanely busy. We never waited more than 15 - 20 mins for a ride/slide.

Colin’s favorite slide was the Malibu Pipeline. Clarks favorite slide was the new slide, Cutback Coaster (the rest of us thought it was WAY TOO COLD! 🥶 ) Mom’s favorite was the Funky Chicken.

We took off right as it was closing (right before 7:00 pm) and got cleaned up at our hotel (we stayed at Blue Green Parkside Resort)

We started the day with our traditional Williamsburg breakfast… Coffee and a breakfast burrito at Aromas! We got to Busch Gardens 45 mins before it opened. Our reward was getting to go on Invader twice with no line!

Excited for first ride of the day!

No one in line!

Clark enjoying the whimsy

Started our day by checking out of our hotel, Hitting the Starbucks inside of the Target by the water park, and heading over to the waterpark right as it was opening. We were able to squeeze in some of our favorite rides in the 2 1/2 hours that we were there (Malibu pipeline,, Hubba hubba Highway, funky chicken waterslides
