Is there anything better than a beach house?

Spent Thursday to Monday in Guilderton with just about the whole Schoie clan. Our nephew Shane invited us to stay at his wife's (Helen, above) mum's place in Guilderton. Only an hour out of town, it was fantastic. We were originally going to stay only 2 days but we were having so much fun we didn't leave until yesterday (NYE). 9 adults and 11 kids from 15 to under a year was a tight squeeze but a few tents and couches saw us right. No television reception made it feel like all the holidays I went on as a kid, with us playing pool or sitting around the table playing cards. 27122007253

We spent Friday and Saturday in our newly acquired sunshade in "The Desert" on Moore River, kayaking, fishing and skurfing along behind the boat.

It struck me while I was reminiscing that what was for us a weekend away hopefully lay the foundation for future reminiscing of childhood holidays for our kids.

p.s. Have you ever noticed that you suffer from hangovers less on holidays?? Four days of late nights and early mornings on holiday and no discernible discomfort. I'm back less than 24 hours and I've been almost comatose all day.

Or is it just me?
