We had about 3 days in Norfolk, Virginia before we headed out to Italy and only needed one morning to ship our van. We thought long and hard about how to give the kids one last uniquely American experience before beginning our 3-year-long overseas adventure. What says "American" more than spoiled-rotten, sugar-loaded, trinket-carrying, character-obsessed, tantrum-throwing, overheated children in a theme park!? Nothing! So off we went to Busch Gardens with Aunt Amanda for a fun-filled day with Elmo and his Friends. We dined with Elmo and Cookie and Abby and Big Bird (pre-political scandal) and we ate junk-food and slurped icees, got overheated and dehydrated, skipped naps, and bought junky toys, rode all the best kiddy rides, ate what passes for "german food" in fake Deutchland, and on and on. It really was a blast! The best part was that we got in free thanks to SeaWorld themeparks' military program that gets all military members and their immediate family in free once a year.
