We kicked off the holiday season with a quick trip to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. Every year they decorate the park for Christmas Town. We took the kids two years ago, but the weather was so bad (cold, driving rain), we didn’t stay more than an hour. This year we got lucky. It was a mild night and no rain. Unfortunately, that also meant big crowds. First stop was dinner with Santa and Ms. Claus (and a creepy little elf named "Jingles"). Then we explored the park, which is themed around different European countries (sort of a poor man’s Epcot). Henry was disappointed to find there were no roller coasters he could ride, but the carousel, bumper cars and miniature airplanes kept him entertained. We wanted to see the live penguins but not enough to wait 1.5 hours in line. If we go again, we may try a Friday or Sunday night when the crowds are thinner. Below are some photos from our night out.
