It was a bit traumatic getting everything sorted to go, it was ridiculous how much stuff we had and I honestly felt like giving up and not going. I'm glad we did.
I love it in Devon, especially Dawlish town, there isn't loads to do but there are a few shops, arcade and the sea.
We went on a couple of days and just mooched around, it was a bit dull and dreary but we walked along the sea next to the train track which for some strange reason really excited me!
We also went to Babbacombe Model Village, I remember going there as a child with my parents and it was still amazing. So much work goes into it. Plus they have Westbury White Horse, a little bit of home on holiday.
It was a really nice week, the baby was well behaved. I was a bit worried about how she would be away from home but she was fine and went to sleep with no problems in different surroundings.
I felt like such an accomplished mummy that week, with her food prep and going out everyday (which I don't like doing at home, we like home!!!) and having her pram was amazing, no more bag and towel carrying we just bung everything underneath the pram. Although it was a bit awkward getting onto the beach but we didn't trek very far.
Plus having a child meant we had an excuse to be a bit lazy, we didn't leave most days until after her morning nap even though we had been up since 6am most days. I expect that will change in future years when she is up and raring to go out.
All in all it was an amazing week and I can't believe it is over and I am thinking of work now.
