Busch Gardens Part II

Today we completed the second round of our Busch Gardens marathon round-robin. After a fulfilling breakfast at the Crown Club, we entered the park shortly after they opened the gates at 10:00 am. It was a beautiful day, and we had a wonderful time. We met several animal keepers and are starting to become well known by the staff there. We are on a first name basis with Dave, the piano player in the Hospitality Beer Garden. Not that we spend a lot of time there ...

We didn't ride a roller coaster today. I guess we'll have to make up for it the next time. Actually, I took Dorcas on the Congo River Rapids. You know, she's a paddler chick, right? No problem, right? Actually, she got a little wetter than expected, ... even before going under the waterfall. She was wearing denim pants and a cotton sweater and got soaked. Shouldn't a paddler chick know better? I thought so, but she was miffed at ME. Like it was MY fault she wore heavy cotton. I suggested we go on a roller coaster next so that the wind could help dry her out, but she didn't appreciate that suggestion either. I just can't win.
