Is that Michelle on the bottom!!

Where did you take the alligator pic? I remember going to some crazy golf place while I was there that had alligators out the front. Never did get why McDonalds stopped doing Root Beer I used to like that stuff.

Can't beat a bit of Kennedy space station can you.

I rate that probably the best of the lot theme park wise Busch Gardens. I like the lizzard pic at the top, lovely colours. The other that stands out for me is the owl pic below the one of the elephant.

Yeah Busch Gardens is by far the best theme park in Florida, great mix of some of the best coasters along with the wildlife and really nice design/surroundings. I usually only go to seaworld and BG. Already planning next years trip.
