hamelin bay

i want to do something fun with the kids, said ian to me the last week. you want to go where? for a day trip? i replied, thinking has he not thought this through properly. i think 4 hours there 4 hours back, 3 kids, confined space, food, drinks, toilet stops, music selection, whinging about music selection, somebody squashing somebody else, are we there yet? blah blah blah.
well i braced myself for a bumpy ride but boy was i wrong! the trip went so smoothly that i am up for it again. hamelin bay was beautiful, we swam, dug holes and mucked around for quite some time. the trip back up to perth was very quiet. they tuned out, exhausted from sun, fresh air and sea salt.
