Stolen moments and little getaways are so important. Family is important.

So couple of weeks ago we set on a weekend adventure to visit our bigger three.

First a flying trip down into what we call “exile” where offspring number four resides with her man and two little ones. Jumping in the car, hubby puts on his laid back vibes and we’re off  driving deep into the South.

 

Breathing in the cool forest air, playing with little ones amongst the trees and listening to the sound of birds singing makes us come alive. Creative souls inspired.

Our hearts fill with delight and we’re just a little sad we don’t get to do this often enough.

Cares of our city life can dampen our adventuring spirit – too quickly we find ourselves tired on a conveyer belt of life thats hard to stop.

When we do rewards are invaluable.

 

 

 

Creativity comes alive.

 

Time to breath.

 

Time to ponder.

 

Time to connect.

 

And precious memories are made.

Little hands Little feet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Experiencing the unexpected like Tulips in bloom.

 

 

 

We stay a night,  leaving early and set off  to visit offspring five and three not so far away.

 

 

 

 

 

Our first stop COFFEE

Sitting in Merchant n Maker watching our big boy do his thing.

He’s seamless in his ability to embrace the crowd and pump out copious amounts of coffee. We’re proud of his venture at Maker Espresso – roasting his own coffee.

 Order Great Coffee Here Sunday morning on the beach where papa bear, although sad not to be surfing with them anymore, was more than happy to photgraph them at his favourite old spots.

A final celebration that left us tummy and heart full knowing our next visit would be to see the soon expected arrival of grand bubba number three.  Time out to make memories with our little family in the South.
