The Belle: Busch Gardens, VA & Virginia to Maryland

Sasa, my Chinese friend, won two tickets to Busch Gardens VA from the contest we had at work and she asked if I wanted to come with her. Of course I said yes!

Super thank you Sasa!

Busch Gardens was divided into different areas by European countries.

There were about 5 rollercoaster rides in this theme park and Sasa and I are not a fan of them. Hahaha. We only rode one called Verbolten after careful consideration.

We're pretty chill. We didn't really get on a lot of rides because that's how we are (or because we're too scared to try them) Hahaha

They have this Asian area and Sasa fits perfectly among these Chinese lanterns. Thanks again for asking me to come with you!

We left VA beach the day after our work contract ended. One of my grandmother's friend, Tita Peachy and her husband, Tito Rollie who lived in Williamsburg offered for us to stay with them overnight because I mentioned that I wanted to go to the Premium Outlet Stores. It was a perfect set-up because my uncle and aunt, Tito Rik and Tita Malot, didn't have to go all the way to VA beach when they fetch me the day after.

Here's us leaving VA beach! We were excited because... we finally get to travel!!

We shopped 'til we dropped. Hahaha we shopped until the stores closed around 9PM. In the span of 4 hours, my money just went bye-bye. Hahaha.

The next day, Tita Peachy and Tito Rollie, took us for a short trip to Colonial Williamsburg

I loved walking around here! There were little houses that are just beautiful!

There were people in costumes around the place so you could feel that atmosphere they had back then.

There are areas where you can learn the things they did in the old days or the history of the place. Even the people who were selling snacks and water are in costumes!

We can't pass beyond this boundary because we didn't have passes. Maybe next time I go here, I can explore the place a bit more!

Around lunch time when Tito Ric and Tita Malot came to fetch us! It was a 4-hr drive going to Maryland and I was too tired from everything (esp. work) that I fell asleep the whole ride.

We met up with my cousins, Alessa, Gin and Kuya Mico in Rockville for dinner! We had dinner at this Korean bbq place which I was really excited about because I've been craving for Korean food ever since I got to VA beach! It was too bad there weren't Korean restaurants near the Oceanfront. I would've been a regular customer. Hahaha
