A week off work

We have had a long overdue week off work this week. We mainly went to Whitby, decorated our spare room, dealt with illness and went to Alton Towers indoor water park. There will be more on the rest but here are the water park highlights... 

When we told della we were going on holiday she assumed we were going on an aeroplane to lanzarote. 

This is not an aeroplane! 

I'm still happy to be here though... 

After two and a half hours in the car she was still excited to arrive at a very fun hotel completely themed around children. She told us the highlight of her holiday was sleeping in a bunk bed, it's amazing how thrilling it was for her! 

Her next favourite thing was the king in the castle, after a little probing we realised this was the fortune telling machine in the arcade! 

She also liked the giant boat for climbing 

The fun things dotted around the hotel... 

The outdoor water fountain and animals ( although she was not keen on the ferrets until simon told her they looked like dusters, when she thought they were all about the cleaning, just like her, she came round to them!)

The troll like in the billy goats gruff...

Her massive breakfast... 

And finally the water park, except for all the splashing. However we couldn't take photos in the water park so these are from the walk way... 

All in all, for a bargain price, it rounded off our week off work perfectly!!
