What is this place all about?

Well what to say?

I guess I should start with the what am I all about thing and explain the title of my blog.

Well I am a 32 year old guy living in London, ON. I work for a crown corporation as a cashier. I have been happily with my partner Curt for the last 6 years. I have quite a few hobbies, some of which you can find in my profile.

The reason for the title "Boblo Land" has to do with many childhood memories, and with the a recent family heath crisis. When I was young our family would travel to Aherstburg and take the Ferry across to Boblo Island Amusement park. One of my earliest memories of my father (who was recently diagnosed with Lung cancer) was him going with us and him getting horribly ill on the pirate ship. The memory of this event got me thinking about all the time I had been to the park and how much I enjoyed the rides and the feeling of freedom I got from them. So last summer in the words of some of my co-workers I went Amusement park crazy. (I will make another post about Boblo later as it certainly deserves its own place here.) I have found visiting the amusement parks very therapeutic in many ways, it is very easy to forget about your worries when you are whipping thought the air pinned to a roller coaster train, it has been a great way for me to blow off stress.

So this year I have made plans to visit several "Local" amusement parks (Cedar Point, Canada's Wonderland, King's Island), as well I have booked in for a 12 day trip to the West Coast with www.themeparkreview.com which I am very excited about.
