We arrived at our travelodge just off the M6 and decided to head off to the cinema, we watched the dark knight. Good film but i must confess to being bored for about the last 30 mins. as were the girls.
Tuesday was Alton Towers day http://www.altontowers.com/pages/theme-park, we woke up to rain, after a quick discussion it was decided we would still go as we could not guarentee the weather on Wednesday and as we were returning home Wednesday it would be a shorter day. So after a quick breakfast at the little chef next to the travelodge we headed out for a 30 min drive to Alton Towers. When we arrived it was raining but not too badly.
Throughout the day we had periodic rain showers some very heavy some not soo bad, we all got very very wet despite raincoats. Sam, Stuart and our niece Maddy all headed straight for oblivian which is basically a huge vertical drop straight into the ground. Made me feel sick just looking at it. This followed with rides on Air, Nemesis, Corkscrew, Rita racer (o-100 in 2.5 secs!), and too many more to mention. even Alex went on most of them (I chickened out of most of the rides !)
Despite being absolutely soaked we had lots of fun and left at 1830 ish having done everything we wanted to.
We were absolutely shattered after our day out (and wet) so we returned to the travelodge for a hot shower and headed out to a chinese restaurant. We were all in bed and asleep by 10pm!
Wednesday we returned home arriving at 3pm.
