Time for a road trip! Easter Sunday so egg hunt for the boys first. So much chocolate!! But the boys enjoyed! We get on and get packed up, and then Jon and I take gethin, owain and the girls out for coffee to give Sarah and Calum time to pack up. Up to middle park for coffee and hot cross buns!
Leave the house by 11 ish and head south to the mornington peninsula, a slight detour through the city centre as there's a charity run on, and then we hit the freeway. About an hours drive and we stop at a vineyard, it's a bit posh so we head to another but that was fully booked. Shame as they looked lovely, but not sure how much we would have enjoyed with all the kids and the cars would have hampered any serious wine tasting! Another time maybe!!
We drove on to Dromena, our home for the next few nights. Parked up and hit the beach, it was pleasant on the beach, not too warm but kids still enjoyed the sand and went in the sea! Sarah had packed a lunch so 'sand'wiches all round for the kids, we were a bit more civilised and enjoyed some wraps and coffee from a local cafe!!
A few hours on the beach, then icecream and playground, then to find our beach house! A few minutes from the beach it was lovely. 3 bedroom, 1 with two sets of bunks so the boys were delighted, outside a lovely garden with trampoline and climbing frame!!
We get settled and then Sarah and I pop out for a few groceries and fish and chips for tea! Getting used to Aussie supermarkets, but the chippy was a different thing. Didn't recognise any of the fish, so had to get the advice from the chippy man!! All cooked to order so we had a bit of a wait, and very hungry children when we got back!! All eaten and full bellies all round!
Despite the excitement about the bunks gethin chickened out and ended up sleeping in with us!! Good nights sleep all round thankfully!
