Our next holiday of 2019, after Ireland was Croatia. I was early into my next pregnancy. We were excited as we have wanted to do it for years and had heard/seen good things. We headed on a Friday and it was a really early start. We got up and showered and then got Thomas up at 5.40 and gave him some milk and got in the car. We were at Gatwick for 7.10, did meet and greet and headed for the lounge and had breakfast croissants and fruit. They have a little room...

We went to Ireland to see family in May 2019 in Sligo. Our flight was 10am from Luton and Thomas seemed to enjoy seeing the plane and being at the airport. We got some breakfast, the usual fried breakfast but Luton had changed so much since I last went there. We parked in a high storey car park right near it for a meet and greet.

Sunday we left at 10.45 and got to airpor...

We had Thomas's first birthday party on the Saturday and we did a BBQ on the Sunday with Rich's family (his Brother Andy and wife Blair were also back as a 'surprise') and my parents came along. It had been a busy weekend so we were looking forward to some R & R. We got up at 3.15 and left the house at 3.35, it was still pretty...

We had decided to do a holiday for Mums 60th for a long time. I booked up a villa and flights in the January for all of us which was me, Rich, Thomas, Mum, Dad, Michelle, Chris, Amelia and Kate. We were heading for Crete on the Greek Island on 5th-13th May. We were super excited as we hadn't done a family holiday since Egypt for Dad's 60th. Although we were missing Katie and her family so that was a shame. I booked in for our two cars to head to Gatwick a...
