Spanish half term 6: Finally made it to the beach!

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Late getting up again, but eventually made it down to the coastal tram and popped along to El Campello again. This time we walked along the whole length of the beach, hunting for shells and generally bimbling around. Had a nice lunch in a cafe overlooking the beach, then hit the supermarket for more food on the way home.

Must mention a tiny bit of shopping that we did – Joe bought a snorkel for the sea (as you do) and I bought Abbie this dress – there was one a couple of sizes too small for her in the toy boxes at the villa; she’d found it and worn it a few times and looked gorgeous, so I wanted to buy her one of her own. I’m probably biased but I think she is beautiful :)

Late afternoon hot tub sessions for all, then a film, tea, tetris puzzles and scrabble :)

I came home from work today (still enjoying it lots) to find the younger two children making a crown for our guinea pig, Caspian. They saw the trailer for the new Narnia film yesterday, which has rekindled their interest in the story. Reepicheep is probably lucky that he doesn’t have much of a tail ;)

Meanwhile Anna had a friend home from school and they spent almost their entire time up in the music room working on something (her friend brought a guitar over). They made a bit of time for some Wii Mario & Sonic Olympics as well though :) Joe and I finished off his violin practice then went to Sainsbury’s.

We spent some of yesterday down on the beach, it was a beautiful day, and this time Exmouth won the vote (it was there or Dartmoor!).
