Tampa to Atlanta (home)
Sunday June 7, 2009
It was Helen's birthday and the last day of our trip. We knew we had a long drive ahead of us, but we wanted to spend some more time at Busch Gardens before we left for home.
We started with the Montu roller coaster. Derek was hesitant at first, but with surprisingly little encouragement he decided to ride it...and he loved it. After that, he seemed game for all the rides, even Sheikra with the 90 degree vertical drop. Helen wouldn't do that one.
We had a good time and got to ride plenty of rides. Before we left Derek was saying how he wanted to go back to Busch Gardens instead of Disney World. He's at the age where the rides matter more than the other things and at Busch Gardens there were plenty of rides with very few lines. We stayed into mid-afternoon, which meant we didn't get home until late.
We had a great time on our trip. It seemed like multiple trips with the stay at Disney World. The kids are great travelers. They entertain themselves with their mp3 and Nintendo DS players and an occasional movie, although they may be getting too big to share the back seat comfortably. They love staying at the different hotels and eating at different restaurants. And they seem to genuinely enjoy learning about things and having new experiences. They enjoy things like the Edison Winter Home just as they enjoy the theme parks.
