Natural Bridge Virginia

On our way to visit Michael's relatives in Staunton VA, we had the chance to see Natural Bridge. It is one of the oldest tourist destinations in the United States. The Natural Bridge of Virginia is located in Rockbridge County.

The Bridge has been included in several "Seven Natural Wonders of the World" lists, mostly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It has been designated a National Historic Landmark, a Virginia Historic Landmark, and is listed in the National Register of historic Places.

Natural Bridge and Niagara Falls were the two wonders of the new world that Europeans visited during the 18th & 19th centuries. Of the two sights, Natural Bridge, without clear explanation of its formation, was the more mysterious.



Seats available for the Drama of Creation Show.

Busch Garden Africa

One of the best attractions in Florida is found in Tampa Bay - The Busch Garden Africa. Beautiful flower gardens, wild animal attractions, exciting shows, and for your adrenaline adventure take all their major park rides, it will truly spin your world. The Safari ride was really fun!


The Anheuser Busch family has created magnificent theme parks, Sea World (San Diego, San Antonio, Orlando) and Busch Gardens (Williamsburg and Tampa Bay). They own the Budweiser beer also known as Bud.



I love the musical show here. A quartet of master story tellers from across Africa gathered for a sort of competition and the tales they tell are brought magically to life. Everything is just so wonderful, the customs, music, singing, lighting, puppets, choreography and special effects come together beautifully to create an artistic vision.


Kumba is one of the best roller coasters in the world. Blood curling thrill of an initial 135 foot drop, you will plunge from 110 feet into a diving loop, three seconds of absolutely weightlessness while spiraling 360 degrees, and tear through one of the world's largest vertical loops. It really spun my world!

HELP! I'm stuck in here!

Sea World Adventure

After a week stay in Tampa, we drove to Orlando to adventure Sea World- Orlando's top attraction. It was a beautiful day in Orlando, we got right on time as they open the gate, easy parking and the size crowd is reasonable. We were happy too, that they give honor to all service members. Free admission to all service members and dependents.

Sea World is the world's largest marine adventure park, wonderfully entertaining and educational park.
