Florida Thanksgiving 2011: Days 1 & 2 of 6

We went to Florida to visit my brother, Jason, and his wife, Laine, during Thanksgiving week. We left Friday after Derek got home from school. We originally intended to stop about half way to Tampa, but then opted for a Busch Gardens\Hampton Inn hotel package that included Friday night, so we drove the whole way and got in about 1 am.

We stopped at ChickFila along the way

Derek was up early, as usual, taking advantage of the hotel wifi

Just waiting on Mommy

We took the hotel shuttle to Busch Gardens






We met my mom, Jason, and Laine at Busch Gardens. My mom was staying with Jason and Laine after visiting my sister, Katie, in Baton Rouge.


Busch Gardens is really a beautiful park with scenery and animals to go along with the rides





















Derek rode Sheikra, the vertical drop coaster, a couple years ago and couldn't wait to ride it again



We're getting hungry




Adam and mom rode the log ride while everyone else, except Helen, rode Sheikra



Time for some serious food


The food was really good, especially Derek's brisket sandwich








Helen is fun to ride with because she's a screamer




Waiting for the shuttle back to the hotel after a long day
