Balloon Ride

Although there are height restrictions for some of the more popular rides, The Little Balloons ride and other kiddie rides at the Busch Gardens Europe theme park provide some of the younger visitors an "uplifting" experience until they grow into the others.

K B Toy Outlet

A view of the K B Toy Outlet at the Prime Outlets. While I have not been in this particular K B, I used to shop at other ones all of the time. I used to get really cool educational computer software for my son from there, and also discounted Thomas train items and sets. Summer is especially a good time to shop there, as they have all kinds of outdoor toys and stuff at deep discount prices, and for pretty much all ages. They unfortunately have closed down all of the other ones in this area (at least the ones I used to shop in Virginia Beach and Norfolk), so I'll have to venture into this store someday; hopefully it won't close!

Rainy Day Play at Waller Mill Park

Sometimes kids just want to play in the park, no matter what the weather. It was raining this day, but with hood intact, this young fellow was determined to have some fun on the playground in Waller Mill Park.
