After breakfast at the Premier Inn, we did more exploring around Weston Super Mare. Compared to the ghost town that we experienced the night before, it was bustling on a weekday morning. The buildings looked prettier too.

The Weston Super Mare City Hall was located behind our hotel. Isn't it a beautiful building?

This display summed up my summer.

The same bookstore had clever advertising.

Zoe and a flower train.

A banana peel caution sign!

Felix can give this guy a challenge for his title.

We found another "American" restaurant.

The kids had fun in the arcade, which doubles as a casino.

We walked back to the beach and visited The Grand Pier, which had a large indoor arcade with rides, like a haunted house called the Grizzly Ghost Train. No, we didn't ride it.

The most twisted thing was this cannibalistic hot dog.

Remember when I mentioned "Sinking Mud" in Part One of my Weston Super Mare Trip Report? This is what happens when the tide is low. It stretches for miles. Kind of bleak, especially on an overcast day. It made me think of "The Swamp of Sadness" from The NeverEnding Story.

Closer to shore, where the sand isn't so "sinky", they had ponies pulling carts, and donkey rides. The kids were a little hesitant, but they ended up going for a donkey ride and finished with big smiles.

We ended our morning with a Ferris Wheel ride. The pirate themed mini golf next door looked fun, next trip!

Unfortunately, we had less than twenty-four hours to see Weston Super Mare. This seaside town is a great pick for a family vacation and we will definitely return.

Stuffed on chocolate from Cadbury World, we hit the road for the seaside town of Weston Super Mare. When we visited in July, Weston Super Mare had not yet hit the news, but shortly after we returned home, we learned that it was the town where artist Banksy had created Dismaland. Dismaland was a temporary installation and it opened just a month after our visit. I wish our timing had been better!

We stayed at the Premier Inn Weston Super Mare, located right across from the beach. The location was ideal and the room was good, in line with our other recent Premier Inn experiences. The family rooms are large, with three beds and plenty of room to sprawl out.

We had a view of the city, rather than the ocean.

Last two nights of the vacation, and I was thrilled that everyone finally got the shoe routine down.

We had a ferris wheel in front of our hotel! How cool is that?

The Grand Pier was closed, but we still walked along the beach, making plans for the next morning.

We headed to town in search of dinner. Weston Super Mare is a tourist town, filled with souvenir shops, casinos, arcades, ice cream stands, and the obligatory "American" cafe.

My favorite thing in town were these...

Arriving just a week before British schools let out for summer holiday, we found Weston Super Mare to be a complete ghost town. We were the only people eating at Danaa, and they gave us the royal treatment. The food was fantastic. I hope that they got tons of business during the summer, they deserve it.
