East Coast Trip - Part V - WILLIAMSBURG

Brock looked like such a big boy riding some of these rides all on his own!

Here's a cute little movie of his horse ride.

And he enjoyed the Carousel! Surprisingly there were no seat belts for the little ones and the horses went up pretty high! 

On Friday (Grandma's Birthday!!), Grandma, Brock and I headed to the park early while the other ones took their leisure. It worked out well so Brock could go on a few more little person rides before the "big kids" came. It was hot! Brock brought his bathing-suit so he could play in all the fun water activities! 

Soaking wet!

We met for lunch at the Festhaus Hall - very large restaurant offering German food - and enjoyed a little show while we ate. Then it was time for more rides! I can't remember the last time I rode a big person ride.... the last few trips to amusement parks, I've been sidelined due to a certain little someone. ;)

That's us - third row from the back - Brian, Vanessa, & Nancy

 My mother made reservations for the afternoon "London Rocks" show and they put on quite a spectacle. Brock wasn't too excited about a lot of the loud "transition" noise and would turn around and bury his head in my chest whenever something scared him (he enjoyed most of the music and dancing).

Fun times goofing off with Uncle Brian.

After the "London Rocks" music show, Brock and Grandma headed out to have some quiet time at the hotel and the "big kids" got to enjoy more of the theme park late! The crew stopped in Italy for dinner and it was quite a lot of food as my mother had purchased discounted dinner passes. Three types of cake anyone?

We managed to get in a few roller-coasters before it was time to scurry out of the park before fireworks. After tracking down a grocery store, we surprised my mother with a fabulous Carvel ice cream cake to end her birthday day!


We tried to go to the water park on Saturday, but it ended up being cloudy and the water was cold. Also water + mobile phones = bad.... so no pictures. Poor Brock was exhausted from his time at Busch Gardens.

 

The family ended up going back to Busch Gardens that evening, but it was really just for dinner.... and watching Brock ride some more rides! 

I think we all looked forward to Sunday morning breakfast!

We said our goodbyes and Brian and Nancy headed north while we all headed east to stop in Chesapeake to visit with Caroline and Brett (the girls were with their grandparents in Raleigh). After three more hours in the car, we came home to do laundry and pack for our flight home the following day. It was a really fun trip and it amazes me how much we did in two weeks, but like always - we were glad to be going home to Brent, Diesel and Oscar.
