Day out to the sea side :)

On Wednesday me and my friend Matt went on a little day out to the sea side and took a trip up the M6 to Blackpool.
Blackpool is one of those places we always seem to visit at some point over the year - at least once but usually we go into the town, spend a bit in one of the big arcades, spend a bit of time on the front and the beach and usually dont go any further than central pier.
I havent been to the Pleasure Beach for probably about 13/14 years and the last time we did go I think we only went on what was then the Playstation (see that shows how long ago it was... when playstation was just PS1)

So on Wednesday we went to the Pleasure Beach - having the Merlin annual passes we have spent quite a lot of time at Alton Towers this year, being only about 16 miles away from where we live its great for a day out so it made quite a nice change to go to somewhere different.

It was a lovely day too. We sang along to Disney songs in the car, got lost in the car (in fairness we were following the Sat Nav) and ended up taking a detour around Preston but we did eventually arrive at Blackpool where the sun was shining. It was nice because it actually wasnt as busy as I was expecting. Being the summer holidays I was expecting it to be rammed and we would be queuing for stuff for hours but we werent. Although we did have to queue for most things they were not massive queues.
All in all it was a lovely day. I even managed to tick one of the things - ride the pepsi max - off my list :) Here

On the way home we called into Preston again (this time planned) and found a nice little pub for something to eat.
