B to the G Take #2

I just can't say enough about Busch Gardens, we absolutely love it.  It's only an hour & 15 minutes away, the FunPasses are affordable... and every time we go, it feels like a mini vacation.  As Madelyn & Mikayla's spring break was winding down a couple weeks ago, we figured a trip to BG would be the perfect way to end it.  The park is pretty big and we never have time to see everything in one day. So, since our March trip was so closely timed to our February trip, we made a point of seeing & doing things we skipped or missed before.



  

We went into the Myombi Reserve to see the chimps & gorillas.  This is Miss Mary, she's the most social of all the gorillas.


In Egypt we checked out King Tut's Tomb!



We also checked out some Egyptian artifacts!


Mike rode the Montu.



We checked out the snakes, reptiles & bats in Curiosity Caverns.



We also made friends with a sassy flamingo in Jungle Junction.


We rode the jeeps in Rhino Rally.




The girls rode the Bush Planes in Timbuktu.



The girls got reacquainted with a few creatures from TreeTop Trails.


We even bumped into Big Bird in Sesame Street's Safari of Fun.


We climbed through Elmo's Treehouse




We crossed the rope bridge & the girls climbed & bounced through the maze of tubes.


They rode the Sesame Street Cars....


And on our way out, we strolled through the Garden.  

** Ahhh... another beautiful day!  We'll be back again soon!**

Great pictures, Mel! I just love how beautifully manicured the grounds of BG are! We're planning on going there for a few hours this Saturday. We want to take advantage of our passes before it gets too hot. Thankful to live so close!

Allison you are lucky to live so close! I wish we could go with you on Saturday but we're going to Punta Gorda for the Florida air show, my cousin Keri hooked us up with free tickets! We'll definitely be trying to get to BG in April but I'm not sure what day yet, I'll let you know as soon as we figure out when!
