Last weekend my hubby and I managed to escape for a night without our children, a tradition before a new baby arrives (before Ella we went to Tutukaka for 2 nights, before Seth we went to Rotorua for 2 nights, and this time we went to Papamoa for a night). Just what we both needed!!!! Thanks to Aunty Tan and Uncle Jonathon for having Ella and Seth and Aunty Sarah for having Faith!
It was a whirlwind trip and we loved every minute of it.
When we arrived we unpacked and went to the hot pools at the bottom of the Mt. So nice to be at pools and not have a child or 2 or 3 hanging off us. Then we went down the main street and found a place for dinner.
On Sunday we went to Welcome Bay ward and then back to the caravan for lunch before heading back to the kiddies.
These trips stand out so much in my memory. I think it's because they happen so few and far between and it's time when we can relax without our children before another one joins the throng.....only 2 weeks to go now!
The bar we went to for dinner had old 70s/80s furniture and this wall cabinet reminded me of the old cupboard we used to have at the back of the lounge...hideous |
The gate at the front of the caravan park cracked us up. It was sooooo slow., we even had to think of what we would do in an emergency cause waiting for this could get you killed! |
Heading home with one extra person in the car meant we got to see what it will be like to travel with the baby....squishy but fine |
And a big thanks to Aunty Natty for letting us stay at her caravan. It was awesome!
Cool :) Glad you guys had a cool time! I was thinking from the first pics, man that dinner place's decor looks a lot dated, but that explains it! Funny about having the cabinet like the one in our lounge. I remember that one haha
