The long day begins
Work and school before we leave.
Actually the day began at 6am when Miss Jennifer awoke. Jeff took Amanda to school and went to work. Mom got Justin on the bus, and Grandma came to pick up Jenn for a while, so Mom could pack. We programmed the blog address into Crystals fancy new Blackberry and set up Amanda's phone too. I hope both ladies will contribute often to this years running diary.
This day is a long stretch to think about. We've got roughly 1,600 miles to go before the next time we go to bed. Really looking forward to getting there, and the trip, as daunting as it is, is still kind of exciting to take on.
Of course nothing is as exciting as the thought of a nap on the beach in the near future....

The dogs were glad to see us, and Dylan glad to be relieved of his pet duty.

Thursday Busch Gardens Again!
After some serious negotiation from the kids on Wednesday night we decided that if everyone wanted to go we would indeed take one more shot at Busch Gardens. The tickets were still good and believe it or not there were still some things we hadn't seen so off we went.The first stop was Dragon Land for the little ones. Justin didn't waste too much time getting into the water. He and Jenn had a few more spins on the small rides.
We also had the opportunity to see the Pirates 3D movie that we had missed. That was fun for all, except poor Jen who was asleep when we went in and woke up while we were getting sprayed by mean old Captain Lucky.
Crystal decided that she was going to take the Shiek-Ra challenge and went for it. She did great, and you can see her and Amanda below in the front row all the way over on the right. She rode it at least twice and I think was glad she did. Amanda was eager to try it a few more times, and even went on once herself. The lines were longer this day than they had been in the first two days so we had to pick and choose where we went, but by the end of the day things thinned out and everyone got to ride what they wanted at least once.
The Congo River Rapids were cool, and Amanda, Justin and I got SOAKED as we went through the waterfalls. That was ok because it was HOT.
The best part of this day was the Bird House. We entered and realized that we could hold the birds (if they would land on us) and the kids really had fun. A few landed on the girl's heads, and Justin did get one nip, but in all it was a really cool interactive experience.
Everyone was glad we went back for the last day, and while sad... I think we were ready to start thinking about the homeward trek on Friday.
