So what are you watching this summer?

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

See the full gallery on Posterous

The Cheetah Hunt commercials have suckered my kids into really wanting to go to Busch Gardens.

So part of our mini-spring break we managed to make it to the park.  I just love this place.

It's so pretty, so clean and they have some great rides.  We also picked the perfect day because it felt like we had the park to ourselves.

As you can see from the pictures, we all had a great time. Not only did we see so many animals - UP CLOSE...but we loved so many of the rides.  Brendan loved the Cheetah Hunt so much he rode it THREE TIMES. 

Its just a cool roller coaster that was incrediably smooth.  It plays with your eyes as you ride it- because it's almost like you can't see the track so your not sure which direction you are going to go....

And the best part of the day:

My super cool 80's charm necklace

I love cleaning...only when I find cool old stuff.

Just the other day I managed to find one of my FAVORITE things from growing up...my super cool 80's charm necklace.

Why they don't make these anymore - I just don't know.

Some of my favorite charms:

• The abacus - it's just fun to play with.  Although really, I wonder if I even knew what this was in the 80s.
• The 7up bottle.
• The little book.  It actually opens and I have some random phone numbers in there of childhood friends.
• The gun is kind of weird - do you think they would even allow you to wear that to school today?  Or even sell that??
• I also love the dancin' charm - it's a giant eraser.
