After exploring the Paradox Museum and having a fantastic time, we decided to check out the Twist Museum, as it’s meant to be similar. The Twist Museum is in central London, where you enter and explore a bunch of illusions, learning how they work and taking photographs of what you discover. This venue did have more illusions technically, but it felt like less were interactive and the layouts themselves were also a little clustered and crowded.
As a birthday gift, Dann booked a night at Luton Hoo Hotel, which is a large, historical manor, with a spa! Everything that I really want in a day of relaxation. We spent a night in the hotel, went to the spa for quite a large amount of time, roamed the grounds, and ate dinner at the manor. This was quite a relaxing experience and we very much enjoyed a night to ourselves, away from work.
When staying at the Luton Hoo Hotel, you can stay in the manor or you can stay in the nearby building which is basically touching the spa. Due to wanting to make the most of the spa, we very much wanted to be nearby instead of in the main building. We did spend some time roaming the manor, which had sitting rooms, lots of different historical items, and beautiful tapestries. There was a bar here and it’s where the meals are served. You can easily take a car (they drive you the 5 minute journey down the road) to the house we were staying at.
During the February half term, we always go to the Alton Towers Pirate Takeover event. This year, we actually floated not going, as we felt Kai and Amelia were a bit old for the whole thing, but after talking it over with them, everyone decided they really wanted to go and that we needed to. With that in mind, we booked up tickets to the Pirate Takeover, with a night at Splash Landings in the Ice Cave Room.

We got to Woolacombe Bay each year and always find somewhere nearby to go on the last day. Last year, we went to the Quince Honey Farm as per the promotion going on at Woolacombe Bay and this year they had a little promo with Watermouth Castle, so we wanted to check it out. Watermouth Castle has a lot more going on then we first thought when arriving. It is in fact a castle, but also an amusement park, which is absolutely fantastic.

Sometimes, you see advertisements for places and you think that maybe, maybe it’s too good to be true. Lots of things are over hyped, and when we got to the outside of the warehouse that Bubble Planet is in, with a bunch of primarily toddlers going in, I thought “oh wow, I have made a mistake”. Bubble Planet is an immersive experience where you can sort of learn about spheres and bubbles, but primarily experience and play in bubble related rooms.
