Alton Towers

Went to Alton Towers last week and it was great. We spent two days in the Theme Park and one day in the Water Park. Probably couldn’t have managed any longer though, all that screaming and head spinning! Really good trip though.

The kids loved it. Will have to bring them back again though when they are big enough for the more extreme rides 🙂 But they did manage to get a go on some really good ones, 13, Sonic Rush to name a couple. But Oblivion had to be the best for me. See it in the vid below, the one with the big drop…!

See here for pictures. Under 2011, Alton Towers 2011.

Irish Trips 2011

Well it has been another crap summer with the weather and all, but we still managed to get in some Irish Trips. Although not as many as the last couple of years, but we made up for that with our trip to Alton Towers!

We did go a couple of places here though, Funtasia Water Park, the Sea Safari out over Dublin Bay, Wicklow to a Trampoline Camp and a few days out on the bike for trips to the beach and the carnival in Bray and that, and we managed to get a little bit of hiking in too, even if it was on the bike!

We managed to enjoy our summer anyway so can’t complain.

I’ve put together a short video of the places we got too, see below. And there are some pictures here under 2011, Irish Trips 2011.
