We packed up the car and headed back to Walmart. I found a cheap camera to get us through the week and for a while after. Working well so far, although the lack of viewfinder is taking some getting used to. We left for Williamsburg after that. The traffic was horrible and the car was getting louder. The front left tire was really clicking and getting me worried. We decided to head to the park and make an appointment to get it looked at the next morning.
It was the last CD at of the food and wine festival and we did make several more stops. First we headed to the Forest of Fun and rode Oscars Wiggly Worms. Amanda and I thought it was great, but the kids didn't really enjoy it. So we got them changed and headed for the water play area. They loved it and we spent quite some time there until they turned the water off. They turn it off to have to Sunny Days Celebration show. We walked over the the Land of the Dragons, stopping in Italy for a quick snack. Ari played in the water over by the dragons for a while as Lily slept. She then rode the boats and ladybugs again.
We headed for Le Scoot ( log flume ) and everyone was able to ride. It was Lily's first big ride and both kids loved it. While in the area I stopped at the Canada food booth and got a venison sausage and a pear cider ale. Both were excellent.
We wandered over to the animal area. I was really looking forward to what had been one of my favorite areas for years. Lorikeet Glen. I was disappointed. I remember there being a lot of birds and walking in with nectar and being swarmed. They encouraged interaction. I have pictures of Amanda covered in birds. Now, it was hard to even find the birds there were so few of them. They tell you to keep away from the birds because they bite. They still sell nectar, but people reach way over and the birds barely take anything. Most birds just ignore it. I used to visit at least once a day and I'm while we'll probably go back its mostly because the girls still loved being that close to the birds.
After the birds it was back to New France (Canada). We got dinner at Trappers Smokehouse with the 50% off coupon we got when we stopped for a snack in Italy. I got the beef brisket which was fatty, but really good and a big portion so even after the fat I still had plenty. I also got a side order of beans which were excellent.
We decided to walk back to the front of the park and snack our way out. We hit Italy and started with tiramisu which was great, but in a plastic cup and very small. Next I hit Greece for some baklava. Good and very sticky. I've had better (from Morocco in Epcot) but it was good. The last of the stops was back in Scotland for some Ginger Beer while the kids rode the Little Clydes again. Again it wasn't too late as we wanted to get to the resort and check in. Of course they wanted us to sign up for a tour, which I'm used to but have gotten good at getting out of. We then headed to our room praying our tire didn't fall off (it was getting really loud). We got set up and eventually got the kids to bed and made an appointment with Mr Tire before heading to bed and trying to get some sleep.
