So it has been a couple of weeks since I last posted, so sorry about that! I have been totally busy with various things but I have taken some time out tonight to write! Firstly, big thanks to my best chummy, Danielle (http://danidarling16.blogspot.com/) for helping me make my header! Tell me what you think! :))
So, last weekend my Mum, grandparents and Uncle travelled up to this cute little area called Castle Point, it was about a three hour drive from where Mum and I live so in the car we just rocked out to Westlife. Sorry not sorry. The day we got there, we headed straight for the beach and we spent a bit of time just exploring around writing stuff in the sand. After that we went to the place we were staying at and just chilled, read and had dinner for the rest of the night. I have been so busy with helping Dad in the weeks leading up to his wedding and studying and being very stressed for my practise exams that I almost forgot how to relax!! So it was awesome to just be able to do nothing and not feel bad about it!
The next day was a Saturday and the warmest I had felt in so so long!! We got up and had an amazing cooked breakfast then spent the day tiki-touring around the place and climbing to the top of the lighthouse which ended up only taking about twenty minutes! And while we were tiki-touring of course we got lost along the way, my Uncle was reading off the wrong map oops!! It ended up fine though because we got to see places that I would never had seen if we didn't! Also I didn't bring my phone along with me so it was nice not to be constantly be checking all my social media all the time! Again at night we just all chilled out, watched the rugby and played some very aggressive table tennis. :Lots of good memories were made!!
The next day we got up and had another amazing cooked breakfast then my Mum and I said our goodbyes too the family and we took a short drive to Carterton where we had a look around a little market. It was so cute but unfortunately I could not get many photos of the stalls because it was not really appropriate. :( But I got to try a V (a kind of energy drink) slushie. Not gonna lie, it was disgusting hah! Then Mum and I took a spontaneous detour to Martinborough. This quaint town is very well known for its wineries, there were so many of them! But Mum and I just wandered around took a look at the gorgeous little shops. :))
So after this we took a cruisy trip back to Wellington grabbing lunch on the way, back to reality!! I had such an awesome weekend, I am so thankful of my amazing family. :')
Talk soon, Shannon x
It's really nice that you have a lot of pictures!
