But it was a lovely day and so we decided to take a look at one of the newest features to our sea front, and there have been quite a few over the last few years.
Millions of pounds have been spent trying to make Blackpool an even bigger visitor attraction.
And the sunshine always brings the people out to walk the front just as we did.
This is the feature we went to see and it is different jokes, sayings and song verses... but it is all on the floor.
You can walk over it all and read the sayings and some of them are very funny.
We bought ice cream as we wandered around for an hour or more.
It is certainly a very cosmopolitan place and it does draw the visitors in.
Even more so when we have our annual light display otherwise known as the "Illuminations" and that brings folks in from all over the world.
We also have an annual World Fireworks Competition and that is a free show on the Promenade over four weeks culminating in a Winner being selected at the end of that time. Some of the displays are fantastic.
But of course our biggest attraction is our tower which is now well over 100 years old.
You can go to the very top of the building and it has a glass walk way if you are brave enough to try it.
Inside there is an aquarium, ballroom and circus ... as well as places to take the weight of your feet and people watch.
Always a fascinating pass time....
Especially here where people are on holiday and enjoying the atmosphere of this very unique place.
