As you can see from the heading I'm finally going to post about our recent January holiday. We actually hadn't planned on going away during the school Christmas holidays because of the expense, work commitements, too many of us, etc etc and I'm really so glad that we did!
Newcastle is only an hour and a half from us and is almost too close to be a holiday destination. That didn't deter us though. We figured that if we were to go away somewhere warmer it would be at least a four hour drive, which you could easily multiply by four now that we have Hamish with us as well. So we decided that somewhere close would be much better. I don't really know Newcastle well and Dave would really like us to explore more of Australia, so we really killed two birds with one stone. Plus to top it off, we had a great time and came back well rested and recuperated.
Here is a few slide shows of our time.

Day 5
Day 6
We took a 1000 piece puzzle with us and managed to complete it over the week. We left it at the holiday apartment for someone else to enjoy. It was a great quiet activity for the older people in the family.
It was a great holiday and of course I can't wait for our next adventure.

Glad you had a restful break together despite the weather. Taking a family of 5 (minus Hamish for the time being) out for dinner is quite an investment these days isn't it!!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great break and I'm so glad we took along so much to do indoors, because we only had one sunny day the whole week we were away. It was lovely to take the family out and everyone loved it, although the older ones weren't always so keen on trying new foods. But, yes it is quite an investment! Imagine how it will be when none of the kids are eating from the kids menu anymore. Hopefully by then one of them will be able to take US out to dinner. ; )
DeleteHope you're going okay.
