We woke up early this morning and drove to Busch Gardens, which is in Tampa. I was once again in charge of driving and Keith was in charge of directions... we got lost... d'oh!
Busch Gardens is a large theme park, that is a mixture of large rollercoasters and a safari park. We arrived at the park at 11am and headed straight for the rollercoasters! After the episodes at MGM on Sunday, Mum and Keith didn't want to ride anything, so we made sure that they 'enjoyed' a water ride or two - dragging them on the log flume and river rapids. We all got soaked, especially me, Nikki and Emma!
After a full morning of nagging, Mum decided she was ready to face 'The Kumba', which at one time, was the fastest rollercoaster in the world. In all my life, I have never heard such bad language - especially from my Mum - she sounded like Roy Chubby Brown for the minute or so that the ride lasted! 'That's it, no more!' she said - or was it..?
Me, Nikki and Emma continued to go on all the rides, and tried to drag Mum and Keith on every one. When we rode the Cheetah Chasers (like the Mouse), I got straight off and asked them to join me. Mum said she would give it a go. She hated it, and started crying half way round. The photo was hilarious! Shame we couldn't afford to buy it.
We had a fantastic time at Busch Gardens and when it was time to come home Nikki said she wanted to be in charge of directions and so sat in the front with me. We got home in half the time it took us to get there... Good ol' Wifey!
Petrol to Busch Gardens: $16, Ticket to get in: $68, Mum's face riding the Mouse: PRICELESS!
