West Edmonton Mall.

This one may include lots of pictures (and will have a video up later) because really there's more to show then say. The drive from where I'm from to Edmonton is about 3 hours and it's a really boring drive. I don't find Edmonton the nicest place in the world but West Edmonton Mall is always fun. (Whenever it's highlighted like that, it generally means to click it, because it will direct you to their main site). The mall is huge and has almost any store you could desire including American Apparel and Forever 21. It has a skating rink, a water park (a crazy one with tons of water slides and a wave pool at that), and a themed park. You can also get "themed rooms" at this hotel like an "African room", an "Igloo room", a "railway room" and many more. We stayed in the Polynesian room.

The Tub in our room.

The only thing that you have to be careful about when staying in these rooms is that there happens to be many hookers that go here, and for some reason people think they can do drugs here. The other thing that me and my family have found is that the rooms are not all necessarily cleaned well (as any hotel). My father once had to actually change hotels because the room stank of dirtiness and febreeze. The least they could do is change the sheets.

So. Moving on now, we didn't make it to the water park this time (although I have been there millions of times, and you can search it on their website as I linked above). The water park is pretty well made. I'm not entirely sure how clean the pool although they use chlorine, so that part freaks me out a bit but it depends what does and does not bother you. You have to pay to get into the water park if you are not staying at the hotel (you get coupons for that and galaxy land if you are) and you have to pay for a locker, and a tube if you plan on getting one. It's all expensive but that's how it is. The water slides are all different levels. IF YOU'RE SCARED OF HEIGHTS you will definitely not like this. You have to climb a ridiculous amount of stairs that are slippery, and you can see through. It's honestly terrifying to climb them. I could hardly do it. The slides are really fun though once you get on. It's a really cool theme and I think that if you've never been to West Edmonton Mall you have to go at least once.

GALAXY LAND! Love this theme park. Although there's not a ridiculous amount of rides, the ones you do go on won't disappoint. The main roller coaster  is huge and if you're afraid of heights (again) I don't think you'll enjoy this one all that much. There are tons of rides though, some of which ridiculously scary. Being someone who's been to Disneyland and other places millions of times, these rides are really hxc. Fun though! There's even a new addition of a 3D ride, which is so much fun. Its located underneath the roller coaster. 

We went on the little kid train for fun ahhaa!

The other kind of cool thing about the hotel is that once all the stores close and they turn off the lights, people staying in the hotel can roam around. They don't close the restaurants till decently late either which is kind of nice. The only thing is that they are trying to clean at night. I think a huge game of Hide and Seek would be so much fun haha.

We sat in the running elevators at night (they are glass) and just relaxed. Haha! There was no one using
 them so why not!

I'm going to post about WARPED TOUR 2010 in another blog as to make it easier to read <3
