Hey everyone.

I know a lot of people here have been interested in some of the Theme Park trips we've been taking over the years and I thought you guys might like to see some photos and video of a recent trip we are currently on.

I had to come to the UK this week for work, so we decided to make a little "mini-trip" out of it.

Our flight was fine (Virgin Atlantic) and it was nice being able to choose from 50 different movies. I finally watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (liked it better than the original) and 40 Year Old Virgin (unedited!!!).

Anyway, we've just checked into our room at the Big Blue Hotel, Blackpool....Here are some pics....

From the plane we can see the north of England has gotten a bit of snow!

Small group tonight, but that's fine. We had a lot of fun.

And finally, one last shot of the park looking really kick *** at night!

We have also uploaded a pretty funny video of Steeplechase, and those of you who remember Knott's Wacky Soap Box Racers/Motorcycle Chase might appreciate this. Heck, if you remember the old Coney Island ride, you might also really like this!

You're in England? Hi, come visit me! My house might be on that photo, lol. Yeah, we've had a lot of snow. One side of my street is covered in it and the other side is dry as a bone:)

Sorry, I can't drum up much enthusiasm (sp?) for Blackpool...
