Before He Leaves

We wanted to make sure we got in some memorable family time before Adam took off. So what else is there to do in little Willamsburg but head to Busch Gardens...again!  This time was much better with Solana (because she didn't throw up all over Germany-land, or anywhere else).  She had so much fun, and it wasn't too crowed, so after each ride, she wanted to go again, and ended up riding everything at least three times.  Adam took her on most rides and she had so much fun.

The whole gang waiting to walk out the door.

First stop was Sesame street forest.  This ride is pretty low key (borderline un-entertaining) but she likes it, and I always enjoying feeling a little thinner for being able to squeeze into the kiddy rides :)

I lost count how many times she rode the carousel. She loved her pink horse the most, she even named him "Pink."

Another favorite of her and Adam's is the dragon ride.

Im assuming her tongue hanging out of her mouth helps her concentrate because she does it a lot!

Freshly squeezed orange juice is a big tradition in our house. So the morning he left, we decided to indulge, since he won't be around for it this summer.  Nothing better than this!
