I love that every year in September we find a weekend to cheer on the Hokies from Lane Stadium and then hop in the car and spend Sunday running around Busch Garden's for my niece's birthday. This year, we started the weekend off with a game again Furman University. I was so excited to bring a handful of friends and quite a few for there first Virginia Tech football game!
It was a perfect day for football and it was a great game and our first "W" of the season.
Immediately after the game, we hopped in the car and drive to Williamsburg. We were so excited to run around Busch Gardens and act like kids again.
At 4, my niece has decided that she is almost done with the little kid rides and is ready for some "real" roller coasters. Unfortunately, she is still too short to ride the real ones, but she was tall enough that there were a group of rides that were new to her from this time last year.
But I think her favorite was still the Land Of Dragons play ground. I think she and I played in there for a few hours while everyone else headed out. We had the best time running, chasing dragons, making up stories, looking for treasures and sliding down slides. It was a great time!
It is never fun to have to leave but I am so glad we do this each year. Can wait to see what rides she takes us on next year.
