Thank you sir, I'll map that out, sounds like an interesting trip.

That way there wasn't a line and the people would let us keep riding sometimes 6 or 7 times in a row. Years ago when my daughter was 13 or so we rode the lochness monster 5 times in a row and when we were riding home she threw up in my backseat, then that made my other daughter do the same thing, fun trip for sure. The rest of the way home all I could smell was smoked brisket because that's what we had for dinner, yuk. I thought I would share that story with you so in case you guys make it to Busch gardens, you actually have to walk under the lochness monster to go thru the park, you'll remember my story 😂😂😂😂. My girls love a BBQ place in Williamsburg called Pierce's BBQ. To me it's just ok. Also, there's a Vietnamese noodle shop called Pho 79 in Williamsburg. Now that's some good food! If you go, there #2 soup has round steak and spicy meatball's, your husband will love it. My wife gets the 3 pork skewers with rice and cucumbers, I think it's the c4 on the menu.😂 Pierce's was a hit with the both of us! It's late, trying to post the photo, not having very good luck. Also, has Moab been mentioned, it's got the rock formations galore. Or St. George isn't far from Vegas and there's quite a bit around there. Edited June 6, 2021 by Tacenda

That's great about Pierce's. Were you guys able to get to Busch gardens, how bout the beach did you like it? Both can be crazy around memorial day.

We visited Jamestown and Williamsburg history, and learned a ton during the few hours that the rain cleared up. And spent two days visiting sites in DC.

Sounds like fun. You actually lucked out with weather, if you would of flew out in July, Williamsburg and Jamestown can be absolutely miserable with the humidity and heat.

Yes we did, especially because I'm so use to dry heat instead of all the humidity, yes we lucked out. BTW, I wanted to keep with the topic and mention these places, and also mention if you stay in St. George you could visit some LDS sites. I like the Brigham Young home and the Jacob Hamblin home for some reason, I'm a nut when it comes to LDS historical sites, go figure. https://www.orbitz.com/blog/2016/09/best-utah-red-rock-country-mighty-five/

rodheadlee Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 You could rent a house boat on lake Shasta, Mead, or Powell for a week.
