Fourth of July at Busch Gardens

We enjoyed an amazing breakfast (grits) before we headed to the park.

we arrived as it was opening with no real touring plan

Sometimes we were a large group, sometimes we were smaller groups. 
I found coffee.  We bought all day dining (a real treat – every 90 minutes we could queue for an entree, drink and either a side or dessert).

Trying lots of food was almost as much fun as trying lots of rides.

It was very hot and a very good day.

It almost felt like 2019 again.

Photos are out of order as kids have shared some from their devices and I am going for speed here, not accuracy.

It was a wonderful weekend, though the drive home on 7/5 was again miserable. 

At least we had another massive breakfast at the same place.
If it ain’t broke…
