Back From Hols!

Hello!  We are now back from our holidays.  We decided it would be a great adventure to have a road trip up to the Sunshine Coast.  God knows why, I now say!  It seemed like a good idea at the time before the easter holidays.  A great family bonding time we thought the week leading up to the trip, a time to catch up and be a proper family with no one at work or at preschool.  Boy it was hard work!

When one child had a nap, the other would be wide awake and on top form, shouting and balling.  Even though we had all the necessary distractions in the car like an ipad and an iphone loaded with games to keep a very active four year old occuppied, they didn't distract him one bit!  We even installed a dvd player headrest thingie but it would not work for the world!  Kept blowing fuses!  Just what you need hey?

So after 9.5 hours up the coast we stopped over one night at Byron Bay.  It was awesome!  Had a swim in the hotel pool and then headed to the Byron Bay Beach Bar for a well deserved tipple!  We even got away with it for a couple of hours too!  The four year old made a few friends and went off and played (within our view) and the now 10 month old had a much needed nap.  So a chicken ceaser salad and a bottle of bubbly later, I was well chilled out and ready for a lovely nights sleep.

The next morning we headed up to the Sunshine Coast and the car journey was just about bearable.  As soon as we arrived though and whenever we got into the car after that, the 10 month old would scream!  I now think she hates car journeys!

So we did the usual trip up to Noosa, which is also awesome!  I highly recommend!  Also took the 4 year old to Dreamworld, which he adored!  I secretly enjoyed it too!  We stayed over a night at Hope Island on the journey home and then stopped off for another over nighter at Port Macquarie before we headed home to the Central Coast.

The journey back from Port Macquarie was the hardest as everyone was well and truly over eachother!  Haha!  Never again hey!

We've now decided our next holiday will be 2 weeks relaxation in a luxurious resort, with kids club of course, in Fiji!!!!  Bring it on!
