Oh! Did you think we went to Paris? Nah. This is the famous Blackpool Tower.
What do you think of when you hear Blackpool? It doesn't sound great, does it? Well, it was pretty much an armpit. Grandma Meme did her mormon mission here almost 50 years ago. So, we wanted to check out her old stompin' grounds. She said it has changed a little in the last 1/2 century. I don't think it was for the better.
Our chateau was called the Norbreck Castle. It was sort of like staying in a carnival tent full of carnies. The castle was really run down. Laundry hung from the windows. It was stinky, crowded, and dirty. On the plus side, Augi and Em were thrilled to be staying in a real castle (it was never a real castle) and it was across the road from the beach.
We did enjoy the beach. Em was a little startled the first time he fell in a muddy sand pit. After that, there was no fear!
Does it get more W.T.? I don't think so.

Love love love beach pixs, you know that! Get a small bottle of sand from each beach, just an idea.

Jeez, you don't have to travel half way around the globe to visit "SmOgden" (o=
BM Bargains? Deals on Pepto? Cool pic though. The pic of the carnival on the dock is amazing. Love it!
