Blackpool Tower

After Comic con, we went to Blackpool Tower, and we had a sit down while the kids played in Jungle Jims. We decided that as the last time we went to the Tower the top was shut due to high winds, that we would go up now. Paul has never been to the top before, i still find that amazing as he has lived here since he was five, i think i was just very lucky as my parents took me all over the place and we used to go to the tower at least once a year, i had a few birthday parties there.  They have a 4D cinema that you go to before you get to the lift. The kids loved it, but there was a part about the Isle of Man which i thought was a bit odd... never mind. Then we got in the lift to the top, it was about 7pm ish at this time and the sun was starting to set






 No way was i standing on the glass floor!!!!

The kids standing on it nearly gave me a heart attack

Notice Ewan holding on!!!

Its a long way down








Can see our car in the car park!






I love the tower building and love looking at the older original parts, and i can imagine how it would have been, i love that merlin have restored the front of the building but inside its like they have just built random walls everywhere that don't fit in with the original decor





on the way home we drove back through the illuminations, Ali fell asleep, but the others enjoyed it  xx

  1. I've lived here all my life and not been up the tower. Never will either. Can't do heights makes feel all funny and dizzy. Oh and that glass floor no no no too much.
    Sounds like you had a great day though.
