An afternoon in Bournemouth
We
We made it to Bournemouth for about 4pm, so we checked into the hotel, had a quick cuppa then took a walk down to the beach. The girls love it on the beach, and we lucked out sith sunshine. We spent a good hour or so splashing in the waves and hunting for shells. Beastie was really not sure what to make of it. It’s the first time he’s seen the sea up close and he was not too convinced! He liked looking, but didn’t want to splash! He was most taken with the pretty coloured beach huts {or at least all the screws holding the hinges on #suchaboy}. After a deliciously naughty chip supper, we took another walk back along the sea front.
We could almost have spent the whole weekend there {but Camp Bestival was too good to miss!} We’ve said we really should have a holiday in Bournemouth at some point, it’s a beautiful place, and we all decided we could happily live there! Though the property is crazy expensive compared to here in North Wales, so maybe that won’t happen anytime soon. I’d love to live by the sea, one day!

August 11, 2016 at 23:14Such beautiful photos, your kids are gorgeous! What a good idea of heading down day early and not having to rush – I think that is the way to go with long drives and kids. Also you got to explore such a nice place, have never really been to Bournemouth but it looks lovely
