Busch Gardens

Back in November, Jake took a day off

and we drove to Busch Gardens in Tampa

with our friends, Chris and Carrissa Logan.

We had to take advantage of the cheap

weekday tickets for Florida residents.

I was expecting to be underwhelmed after

going to Disneyworld regularly, but I was

actually really impressed. The park was big,

clean, and not too crowded. There were tons

of roller coasters for Jake, a pretty impressive 

collection of animals, and an awesome kids 

section for Corbett. He even went on his

first roller coaster ride...

Just kidding!

Not quite tall enough yet.

But it did melt my heart to see Corbett

riding this car all by himself. He absolutely

loved it and went over and over again,

waving to us every time he drove by.

There were lots of fun rides for kids.

Corbett was also introduced to the

cast of Sesame Street. I believe this trip

started his love for all things Elmo.

We had a great day, and I'm glad we had 

the chance to check out Busch Gardens 

before moving from Florida.
