Weston-Super-Mare

Family day at the beach!

It was a beautiful Thursday morning and everybody was awake by 6am ready for my first ever road trip. Me, Mum and Sam went to macdonalds on the Coventry road first for a breakfast, me and sam had a double sausage and egg mcmuffin with a coke and Mum had a bacon roll with a coffee. By 7.30am we headed off to go and get Dad. We were well on our way to Weston-Super-Mare..... WOop woOP.

I was over excited to be on a motor way that I definitely drove quicker than I thought I would. I was nervous and excited which was weird, I was switching lanes and overtaking it was really good just a little bit on the fast side. We stopped off at a service station and went to the toilet and had a quick drink I had a mango and passionfruit smoothie. This gave my leg and foot a good rest haha.

We arrived at Weston at roughly 11.30am we all got undressed as it was warm, we got the chairs and the picnic hamper then we all made a beeline for that beach. We made up a little camp and ate some sandwiches, pork pie, crisps. I had a little sun bath and got to put my feet in the sand  then we headed off. Sam and Dad took the hamper and charis back to the car and me and Mum waited on the wall with a drink and relaxed in the sun.

We then went to the loo which cost 20p and hopped on the little train along the seafront it was nice to see all the different buildings but it was extremely cold. Me and Dad then went on the big wheel the views were amazing but I was absolutely pooping my pants because the cart kept swinging from side to side Dad loved it. We both came off shivering because it was roughly 3pm and the winds had definitely picked up.

We all took a little stroll up the pier which is like a massive tradition in our family. It didn't seem as long as it used to feel. We went in the arcade section at the back but Mum couldn't handle the loud noise as she wasn't feeling very well. Me, Dad and Sam went up to level 2 and had a go on these drifting go karts, Sam won and I lost, I was terrible at it. 

Dad then went to join Mum outside for a quick cigarette. Me and Sam went in a thing called the crystal maze which is loads of mirrored walls and glass, we had to try and walk around finding our way out. We then went into the mirrored room, which was ok but it is literally a room with a couple of weird mirrors and some LED lights. We went outside to find Mum and Dad to see if they wanted to join us on the ghost ride, they didn't they were going to go and get Dad a little jumper. 

Me and Sam went onto the ghost ride and it was scary I do not understand how children can go on this ride without crying. We had a picture taken which I am never putting on to the internet because as they take the picture they spray air into your face so it looks horrific.....thanks pier ride people haha. We then spent some more time playing air hockey, shooting, a bouncing game, horse riding game and a basketball game I won 3/2 hahaha 2 days in a row I beat Sam. 

Mum and Dad came and found us trying to win a Dory teddy out of a grabber machine and then we went to get some food. I really wanted some fish and chips. Mum and Dad took us to a cafe but the food didn't look very nice in my opinion so we went to a chippy that we went to the last time and we all enjoyed it. We had fish swimming by us in a big tank and we all had yummy food, I was the only one of us not to have fish, I had a burger instead which was okay. Me and Sam had waffles for pudding which was nice, I dont normally have waffles as a pudding.

We headed home, It was the hardest drive I have ever had to do. I was soooo tired and sun burnt trying to drive 96 miles, it wasn't a plan. I made it though. We went into Dads bungalow to say hello to his new dog Spartan and have a little rest before driving back home.

It was such a great day.

Have you ever been here? What did you do?
