So, this year we got annual passes to Busch Gardens and Water Country USA for the whole family.  Todd is home this year, yay!  So, we will go more often as a family.  And we all love the water park too.  So, we got the combo passes.

This weekend was opening weekend at BG, so we decided to go up and have our first BG day of the year!  Tina and her family ended up deciding to do the same thing!  So, we met up with them in the park throughout the day and the kids got to ride some stuff together.  And afterward, we all went out to dinner too.

The weather forecast wasn’t all that great, but we were planning to brave the rain anyway as the afternoon looked better as it got later.  As it turned out, the weather was gorgeous, up to 80 but with a nice strong breeze, just perfect!  PLUS, it was empty in there!!!  I think the weather scared people away, so the lines were NOTHING!!  No crowds, hardly any waits at the rides and restaurants, it was just a lovely day all around!  And we got to spend it with friends.

Wonderful way to kick off the year...and hopefully we’ll get more and more days like this and less and less in the forties!  I am DONE with winter!

So, here are some memories from yesterday...hope you all enjoyed your weekend as much as we did.
