It's bigger on the inside!!

So last weekend we went to Cardiff, Wales. Which is only a four hour train ride, although you get the feeling that it might as well be the middle of nowhere from the way the people in England talk about it. Anyway, we went because Cardiff is where the Doctor Who Experience is.

If you don't know, Doctor Who is a British science fiction show, which has been running since the 1960's (50 years this November). Well I am a HUGE fan of the show along with Eli and my mom, who I've gotten hooked.

So indulge me while I say how amazing the Experience is. If you watch the show then you will understand how awesome it was to go inside the TARDIS (the spaceship on the show...sorta) and how excited am I about owning my own Sonic Screwdriver (pretty much just what it sounds like, a screwdriver, that's sonic). The experience was SO worth the trip. You got to go on an interactive thing where you have to get the Doctor out of the Pandorica (again...they had a spare) and walk around and see props and sets from the show, including stuff used in the show almost 50 years ago.

But nerdy TV shows aside, Cardiff was a really nice town. Right on the water, you could tell that they had put a lot of effort into making the waterfront a nice area. And it really is. We arrived right in the middle of some huge carnival or something, so it was hard to see the city center, as it was full of tents and stages. But what we could see of it was very, very nice.
