Days 7+8 (Amusement and Relaxation)

Saturday was our day to go to Busch Gardens! Oh my goodness it was so much fun! I hung out with Seth, Jon, Wesley, Jake, and Lara. It was awesome. We got to the park before the gates were open for the separate countries. We waited and then we sprinted to The Griffin, the most awesome ride in the entire world! We were the first group to go on and the only people on the ride. I was up front and almost at the very edge. It was awesome the 90 degree drop was the coolest feeling I have ever felt.
After that we wanted to get a lot of the rides in by lunch so we started to head towards the Alpengeist. We got to the Big Bad Wolf first so we rode that. I really do not like that ride but basically we went around the whole park and did every single ride at least 3 times. We went on the Lochness Ride and we got a picture of all of us sleeping on the ride.
Later in the day I got an old time photo with Lauren and Nick and then went off and basically played games. We played this one game where you have to throw a ball into a beer stein and it was awesome because Jake got it in and I won a HUGE polar bear and I named him Patrick the polar bear. We saw the show Kinetics which was pretty tight and then went back to the dorm. We all stayed up for a bit and watched movies and such and then we went to bed.
Sunday was a really laid back day. I got up at 8 because I didn’t have to be at breakfast until 9 and we basically just sat around the dorm all day. We got to go across the street for lunch and we went to Moe’s. It was pretty good. Then when we came back we just kind of hung out and I decided I wanted to go running. I ran 2 miles on the track and then came back in. Then we went out and played some volleyball it was really fun because I worked with Taylor and Cara and they got a ton better at it. By Sunday night everyone was dragging and so we all went to bed almost immediately at 11.
