Busch Gardens Busch Gardens The Colonials had many technologies that were far ahead of their time Nutritious meals at Busch Gardens Lizzy Maddie Busch Gardens Wheelwright shop	In October of 2001, we went to Colonial Williamsburg (in Virginia) for its educational value, but ended up having a load of fun. Who knew that it was located right next to Busch Gardens, the most beautiful theme park in the Nation! While we were enjoying the beautiful Fall weather and authentic Colonial atmosphere, we learned how to load and fire cannons, toured Revolutionary war encampments, rode bikes, participated in a period trial and ate caramel apples. We joined William Rehnquist, the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court at the dedication of a statue of legal giants John Marshall and George Wyeth. Each night, we headed for Busch Gardens and enjoyed their very special HallowScream activities. The entire park is changed over to a Halloween spectacular, with ghouls, haunted houses, special Halloween musical performances and a whole lot of spooky fun. We also found time to ride some major roller coasters. If you go, spend the extra money and stay at the Williamsburg Inn or Williamsburg Lodge. They add a lot to the experience.
