1st night away

Last week we decided to go to Old Mac Daddy in Elgin for our first night away as a family of four.  Of course only going for one night, you'd expect the luggage capacity to be at a minimum... Well, unfortunately not with two babies!  We were packed to the max, with the dogs at the extreme rear of the car of course and my "not so small" bum squished between the two car seats at the back.  Thankfully our destination was only an hour and a half away so the discomfort wasn't endured for too long. 

My wonderful parents joined us on our night away which always adds some more fun to the mix.  We stayed in the three bedroom villa, a few stairs climb on the hill.  With nothing much to do at the venue other than go for long walks and relax, that's exactly what we did.  Zac sat in the Baby Bjorn adding 6kg+ to every step I had to take (yay for the extra calories burnt!) and Lily happily walked alongside us, entertaining us almost every step of the way.  Goodness, we have honestly been blessed with one of the most gorgeous little girls in the world, full of character!

That evening we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the restaurant (lamb shank, pizza, salmon trout and hake) and had a relatively early night's sleep.  With a new bed and a snoring husband, I didn't get a good night's rest and to top it off, Zac woke up at 4:30am and wasn't quite ready to go back to sleep! Luckily at 6:30am he fell into a deep sleep and slept until 8:30am which was nice for mommy to have a little doze.

After a wonderful breakfast back in the barn restaurant, we packed the car and made our way home.  The weather was awfully windy, cold and overall miserable so it was lucky we had the good weather the previous day.  Our drive home was quick and our first night away with our two little treasures went well.  Looking forward to our next little mini adventure!
