We took some time out recently and headed to the coast over the Canberra holiday long weekend. We joined the mass exodus and left after picking up Nicholas from school on a Friday afternoon. We ran into someone I know from work at the half-way point in Nimmitabel. The next morning we ran into a family from school at Pambula Beach.
It was nice to escape for a few days to relax, see the ocean and play. After catching a couple of waves, Nicholas had his first wipe out on the bodyboard and unfortunately, didn’t want to have another go after that. Catherine enjoyed paddling in the water. We built sandcastles, explored rock pools and ended our days with a nice walk.
My most enjoyable time was at Bar Beach. We tried out the Bar Beach Kiosk for the first time and had good coffee, yummy milkshakes and a tasty egg and bacon roll in soft Turkish bread. It was also here where Phil and I were able to sit back and chat while watching the kids happily play in the sand and paddle in the water. It felt like it couldn’t get any better than that.
So it was a bit sad having to drive home after three days. We were enjoying our family time and I think we could’ve all used a couple more days of being away. Hope it’s not long until we have another time out.
