Avoca: a weekend away

While the boys toughed it out in the mud, we enjoyed exploring the little blue and white holiday house and the local markets with these two.

Fragrant gardens, early rises, a sun-drenched breakfast table, two little copy cat crawlers, sweet chai and baby yoga under the trees, handcrafted treasures, a beautiful find and a lucky fit, bare arms and a floppy sunhat, tea and croissants on the porch, long baby naps...It was an ideal getaway.

I'm hoping to go back and explore this little patch on the Central Coast again one day, and would love to know of any places to see if we ever do make it back. We're feeling more confident about road trips with the Little One now. She had some lovely long snoozes and travelled happily. Although we did rely on one or two episodes of Playschool on the laptop on each stretch...

*I'm making the most out of that romper while the sun shines...She's growing out of things too quickly. Sigh.

    2. I haven't been, i keep meaning to but just haven't gotten around to it. I'm due to have my first baby in 2 weeks, when things settle down i must pop bubba in a sling & check them out!

    1. It's lucky it's a vintage piece as it's quite roomy (for those big ol' nappies) so hopefully I can get a few more weeks (months!) out of it x

  5. It's lovely when you can start doing longer road trips with them, isn't it?
    Avoca is such a nice place, I have fond memories of the last time we were there...

    1. K and I were quite surprised actually. It's given us a bit of incentive to plan a little summer holiday. Lovely! x
