Colonial Williamsburg offers interactive quest, and Busch Gardens an epic drop

By Sam Rodd

WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA -- Two days after I got home from sleep-away camp, my family went to Washington D.C. We stayed there for one night and then headed here. The first night we went on a ghost tour at Colonial Williamsburg. It was awesome!

The next day, we went back and played a game called RevQuest. RevQuest is an interactive game where you have to find clues around Colonial Williamsburg. In the game, someone is in danger and you must find out who is in danger, where it will happen, and what that person is in danger from. Then I got a giant musket. (Because I need one.)

Next, we went to Busch Gardens and went on rides like Curse of Dark Castle, Alpengeist, the Lochness Monster, Apollo’s Chariot and Griffon. Griffon dangles you on a 105-foot drop straight down. Being a roller-coaster enthusiast, I found that EPIC!!

We went back and saw the animals at Busch Gardens on the next day. In the aviary room, a bird landed on my hand and bit it several times. I also held the tiniest owl you’ve ever seen.

Later, we saw an Irish dancing show. These people moved their feet like the speed of light. While I was in that section of the park, I got some magic tricks. Then we headed to the hotel, and I went swimming.

Now, it's Friday and I am going home. (It probably won't be Friday when this story is on the site.) I had tons of fun and don't regret anything.
