With the end of 2009, now would be a good time to take a look back at the conventions visited.  Being the first year, having a tiny budget, and getting started in August our first RoadTrip and most since have all served as learning experiences.

The Year End Review is a quick look back at all of those trips including the ones for which I did not post videos.

And remember, you can submit your own RoadTrip videos too.  If they seem sufficient in quality, we will be happy to give your video a page with the embed of your show on the videos page.

BWL RoadTrip: Year End Review 2009

So, obviously I’ve finished my last trip for 2009 and I really enjoyed my stay at Six Flags.  While I was there I also went to see Sherlock Holmes, which was considerably better than I had feared.

Snow and ice from a recent arctic front were considerably lighter in the Metroplex and was melted by the end of the first day.

Christmas Lights were strung up all over the park and other decorations were carefully placed.  Some rides were closed, but that was to be expected given the cold and windy conditions.

With leaves fallen from most of the trees, its easier to see all of the rides and get a better feeling of how enormous some of them really are.  The park was really beautiful and despite the cold I had a blast.

It was almost said to visit the foot of the Texas Giant where the deconstruction has already begun.  But I can’t wait for the 2011 season when the beast re-opens after a complete overhaul and new features.

I’m going to have to loose some weight between now and then to be sure that I can ride that monster once again.

For the time being, here are a few photos I took during the night when the Christmas Lights were really nice.  I’ll also be adding a few photos to my DeviantArt account soon.
