This week I am totally grateful for the awesome night away I was privvy to last weekend. Let me tell you about it.......
The lovely folk at Big 4 Bellarine Peninsula invited a bunch of women away for an overnight retreat. They called it their inaugural 'Mum's Night Out'. I was so excited to be getting away, on my own, to chill out.
The lovely folk at Big 4 Bellarine Peninsula invited a bunch of women away for an overnight retreat. They called it their inaugural 'Mum's Night Out'. I was so excited to be getting away, on my own, to chill out.
We took part in 'The Great Race' which was a fun way for the Big 4 to show case all of the facilities, which, were awesome.
# munching on pancakes cooked in the camping kitchen
# testing out the flying fox
# hanging out in reception doing a word find (next clue)
# after a quick assembly of the tent (never fear this was not my accommodation)
# a giggle and jump on the jumping pillow (my kids would be so envious)
# speed racing around the grounds
The thing is, I had such an awesome time. Besides the fact that the whole time I was there I was thinking how much I wanted to share it with my family.
I relaxed.
I cannot express enough in words how much I needed right now to relax.
Big 4 Bellarine Peninsula is one of those caravan parks that is more of what I'd call a resort. Looking for a holiday where you don't need to go anywhere? This is it.
I can honestly admit my kids would spend most the day in the pool, with a slide and a water playground, it would be hard to drag them away, and the fact that it's indoor means you can swim all year round.
And when they're not in the pool they'd be hanging on the jumping pillow, in the playground and on the flying fox.
Pack yourself some nibbles, a good book and maybe you'd be as relaxed as I was after a visit.
Can you see how keen I am to get back!
Thanks Sophie and team for the opportunity to be a part of your 'Mum's Night Out'. Goodness knows every mum deserves some time out and this is such a great initiative.
I am beyond grateful (if this is possible) not only for the time away but also for the timing of it.
What do you love to do to relax? and What are you grateful for this week?
Linking up with Maxabella Loves over at Kidspot Village Voices. Check out what everyone is grateful for too.
Cheers

You are so right, you really don't need to go anywhere once you're there! It was a great place to stay and I too enjoyed the opportunity to relax. Love your photos ;)
ReplyDeleteGo you! I reckon that jumping pillow would be the end of me!
ReplyDeleteI think being somewhere like this on my own would make me pine too much for my family too. It's lovely to get away, though and of course you'll be back with the kids I'll bet! x
This place looks fantastic!!! Great pics too, looks like you had a fab time!
ReplyDeleteI'm so envious, I am so in need of a break at the moment. :)
In good or bad weather it is a great place to be.

ReplyDeleteMan that place looks awesome! I love jumping pillows! Wish we had these kind of opportunitys in Darwin.

ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much I relaxed, given how uptight I was! So fun going away with you - that we both feel comfortable to sit and play on our ipads while catching up! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI want to jump away on that jumping pillow! Looks like so much fun! My little girl would love it too. Sounds like a nurturing weekend x
ReplyDeleteI can not tell you how much I needed that break Elisa, it was the best. All kids would be in heaven at that Big 4.
DeleteHow much fun was the jumping pillow!? It was so lovely to meet you in person, hopefully next time I'm in the area we can catch up.
