Visited Busch Gardens again - this time with our new annual passes. I think they will really be worth the price! The "preview" pass allows us to visit in 2005 with 2006 passes. The kids had already tried many of the rides before, so they showed Nicky everything. We got funnel cake and hot cider (1915).  Enjoyed Howl-O-Scream again, too!

[after checking out of the Navy Lodge at North Island NAS, I got some lunch for the road at Subway (0815) - later, we flew from San Diego to Camp Springs (Andrews AFB) and then back to Norfolk) - flying with Jim D.]

After work, I took the kids to Busch Gardens (arrived at 1000 and got the preferred parking).  This was my first visit since 1991 - it has really changed! We ate some lunch at the Festhaus (1155) and later got some snacks (1435). We spent a really nice day exploring.  Along the way, we learned about the Howl-o-Scream event that was going to start later in the evening.  The kids were really interested in seeing what it was so we decided to stay. We got some food at Squire's Galley (1730). The kids had a great time getting spooked by the ghouls! We definitely have to come back!
