Winter Weekend Getaway

North Entrance Beach

Midday Friday we headed up to the family beach house on the Central Coast.

I love the Central Coast. It gets a pretty bad rap, but we think it's lovely. Little quaint towns, lakes, beaches, good food and a slower pace of life.

Abi loves the beach house so much. The beach house is in a development with a golf course and facilities, so we have an indoor pool, club house and best of all, a day spa at our disposal.

Silly me, forgot BOTH my memory cards for my cameras so I had to rely on the iphone for photos.

We ate avocados every day. We sat by the fire. We went for drives to the park. On Saturday afternoon, James took Abi to the indoor pool while I went to the Day Spa for 2 hours to have a deluxe pedicure and remedial massage. I sipped green tea afterwards in the relaxation room, reading spa magazines and enjoying some quiet time.

Yesterday, we soaked in the sunshine at lunch here, next to Wamberal Surf Club, a few minutes north of Terrigal.
 
Here are some (terrible quality) photos of my weekend...


Abigail playing with her beach house toys that reside at the house. Fire lit in the background, I want one!

Lunch on Saturday. I did grilled sourdough with bruschetta and avocado + lemon. It was amazing!


A very special toy. My mother-in-law bought this vintage 1975 Sesame Street set from ebay. This set stays at the beach house and Abi loves it so much.


Sunday morning at the park in Long Jetty, it was freezing!


Sunday morning - Shelly Beach


Sunday afternoon - Wamberal Beach

  2. What a great place! And the best bit? Less than 2 hours away. That's what I love about the central coast. My Dad lives at Pearl Beach which is down near Woy Woy and even closer. Also LOVE that Sesame Street house...the old stuff is by FAR the best stuff!
