I like Museums. Although there is a lot of crap at them that could be condensed into a free booklet at the start.
I love The Natural History Museum in London. It was like being a kid again, watching Jurassic Park. But for realz! (kind of).

Washington DC is basically one huge museum. I could spend a month in the Smithsonian museums alone. I think I need to plan another trip.
Quote: Robert D @ August 22 2009, 1:56 PM BSTI think I notice a pattern.
Quote: Nogget @ August 22 2009, 3:50 PM BSTThat's the acid kicking in. Patterns become amazing, and you must have taken acid to enjoy those places you mentioned.

I'll keep that in mind.
D.C. is fantastic!
I'm hoping to get my two oldest down there in the next few months.

Vrrrrooom!
Is this another Face in the Hole? 
I've not done proper go-carting. Do you recommend it?
No. 
I have another picture of me somewhere doing 'proper' karting, but I can't find it at the moment.
Yes, it's great fun. Over to quickly though unless you have loads of people doing heats.
The place we got to has enough cars so that most of the time, you get done, get back in line and then get in again. All this fun for $10.00 for 2 hours. It averages out to about 12 rides for the two hours. Not a bad deal.
We been talking about going anyway, will have to think about it again.
Alton Towers was alwas my favourite when I was a kid. I love the way the place is set out, with all the rides being hidden amongst the trees. Also, I liked the fact that there wasn't shit chart music blaring, and noisy little stalls/sideshows all over the place, like there is at smaller Amusement Parks.
I like museums (especially to do with social history and costume), castles, stately homes, picnics and country walks.
I don't like theme parks and take shopping too seriously to find it enjoyable.
A lot can put you off theme parks. Such as this:
