A lovely getaway ....

We're home from a lovely week away at South West Rocks.

Here is a photo overload of our activities.

The weather was very kind .... only 1 day of wet weather which wasn't a bother as a lazy day indoors was quite welcomed.

We had some lovely walks along the breakwall ...





Blake loved fishing ... The boys went out on a few fishing expeditions but mostly Blake loved fishing in the river/creek for Potty Mullet.




One of his catches was this tiny little Bream (how cute!)



and yes, of course it went back into the water!




We walked up to Smoky Cape Lighthouse ...
(wow, what a climb that was ... at least one week's worth of exercise i'd say LOL!)





We spent time at the beach ...






Ate ice-cream and watched the sun set over the headland ...




Mark went out sea fishing on a Charter Boat ...





We visited Trial Bay Jail ...





and here are some other random pics ...








all in all it was a full week but very relaxing (even snuck in some scrapbooking with a little kit i packed to play with whilst the boys were out fishing) ... the batteries are re-charged and i'm ready for back to reality on Monday (well as ready as i'll ever be LOL!!)

Hope the Easter Bunny was good to everyone and you enjoyed your Easter break.

Talk soon .... Keep smiling :O)

Hi Julie! What a wonderful trip! I've thoroughly enjoyed the pictures. Makes me wish I could have been there with you...lol! Glad you are back all safe and sound. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I always love getting visits from you! Look forward to seeing what you were able to scrap while you were away. That little bit about packing some scrapping goodies for vacation impressed me muchly! :)

What a coincidence we were there around the same time. Next time we should plan better so we could meet for a coffee lol.
Your photos are great, it reminds me that we should go around and visit all the sites again. My in-laws live there, so we go often and forget to re-look around at everything.
