Water Country USA... Today we ventured down to Williamsburg, VA for some fun in the sun. After a 2 1/2 hour drive we arrived at Water Country which is affiliated with Busch Gardens. We shared a picnic lunch prior to descending upon the park. There are 30 different rides at this place. The attractions have names like Aquazoid, Nitro Racer and Wild Thang. Additionally there was a wave pool, sprinkler areas and a "lazy river".
The campers traveled around with their teams, 2 coaches and an additional counselor like a referee or a support staff member. The thing to do is leave all your gear either on the bus or in a rented locker and travel around in just your swimsuit. The air temperature was about 85 degrees which made the water feel cool and refreshing.
Meal vouchers were passed out so it was dinner on your own in the park. There were plenty of eateries to choose from. We finally called it a day around 6:30pm. I for one was glad. My eight year old wore me out. I'm looking forward to not having to ride "Big Daddy Falls" again for another year.
As you can imagine, the bus ride home was a lot quieter than on the way there. I think the boys slept well last night!
p.s. if you don't see your son in the water country photos, it's not because they didn't go on the excursion. All the campers did, we just had trouble catching up with all of them at the park. They were all there and it seemed as though they all had a great time!
