Easiest Coasters at Busch Gardens (VA)
Since being hospitalized with a severe case of vertigo several years ago, I've been on a self-imposed roller coaster ban. That ended with our Spring Break trip to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg. Determined to test my limits and return to the world of roller coaster riding, the OurTravelCafe.com family found the most friendly coasters in the park, checked out the rider comments and statistics, and chose our final four. We chronicle our path through the main attractions, and provide on-ride highlights. Disclosure: No adult humans became ill or debilitated as a result of our harrowing hijinks.
Visiting Busch Gardens (Virginia) With Kids
We visited Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA,, during Spring Break and found it perfect for youngsters. Known as one on the most beautiful theme parks in the world, Busch Gardens features a plethora of attractions perfect for the 3-8 year old crowd while the older siblings and family members enjoy more thrilling attractions. Plus, with lots of family-friendly shows, excellent food options and plenty of places to relax, it's easy to enjoy a full day onsite without having to leave the park for a rest. This was our first visit, but young and older alike agree -- we'll be back!

Watch to see what we thought about the 4 time gold wining Best State Park in FL, and all of the other things we did in Central Florida (spoiler alert: it involves a lot of chickens).

Top 10 Minnesota Road Trips to Take in 2022
Minnesota has a variety of charming small towns. From the South Minnesota farming communities to Northern Minnesota's pine lodge settlements, and everything in between. What I like most about Minnesota is that visiting each city and town is more than just going to a tiny community, on the off chance that you may see something.
