Family holiday

We've just returned from a week long holiday on the Gold Coast. We had booked a vacation for back in April but due to other family matters the week had to be postponed until now.

We stayed at the Crown Towers resort which offers fully self contained apartments. We had a 2 bedroom apartment which I must say was the size of a small house, we had plenty room for all, 2 balconys, ensuite and kids retreat. Our apartment was on the 13th floor overlooking the adrenilin park. This provide hours and hours of fun for us as we continually watched people put themselves throught these negative 'G' rides, only to see us do it on our last day.

One of our days was spent at Dreamworld where both kids and Mum & Dad had a great time. The day was aimed for the kids so we spent most of our time around Wiggle World and the smaller rides. Both kids had their photo taken with their favourite TV characters - Dora and Wags.

Plenty of time was spent at one of 3 pools the resort had. If the weather was a little inclement we took in the heated pool but most days we were around the beach pool.

Of course what would a week away be without some caching but I'll leave that for another thread.

We managed to catch up with family on more than one ocassion, along with a periodical visit to our QLD property. Our relaxing week was finished off with a slow trip home stopping with family for a few days and then a break at Taree.

Regretably all holidays must come to an end and unfortunately its back to work tommorrow.
