Southend Luminocity Walk

As half term and a week off of work comes to an end we are still trying to make the most of the remaining family time. Last night after dinner we took a drive up to Southend seafront for a walk down the high street to take in the Luminocity lights which we missed out on last year. I think yesterday was the last day and the High Street was absolutely mobbed, traffic and parking was ok, but pedestrian wise it was rammed.

We took a walk from the Pier to the train station and managed to get a few piccies of Holly with some of the light installations, none of the boys as they are still camera/blog shy!! After our walk the kiddies claimed to be starving and so we treated them to some chips, ice-cream and donuts before heading home. All in all a pleasant evening and nice to get all 5 of us out of the house for a bit.

The bikes generated the electricity for this attraction, unfortunately the queue was too long for me to jump on there and power the whole of Essex for a few mins!!!

Me and H at the Star light on the pier.

The smoking star light.

The new Big Wheel in Adventure Island looks cool and absolutely dwarfs the old one.

The disco globe and some classic old school tunes.

This was a circular mirror / LED type of installation which you could go inside.

Holly and T in the LED light arches.

Honest 5 of us went, the other 2 were hiding from the camera.

Queue to walk through the arches was massive one end, but if you walked to the other end you could go straight through!!! Lightning Lane, hahaha.

Holly with some inflatable light up tree type thingies!

The disco light canopy was pretty impressive with basey tunes playing that you could feel through your chest.
