Road Trippin’
Photos
We didn’t actually get out of the house until lunchtime, but enjoyed the beautiful drive through the mountains, arriving in Bangor at 2pm. A quick stop to by flowers and then a visit to G’s Nain’s grave to lay them, we went to Penryhn Castle. G had been twenty years ago, but the kiddos and I hadn’t visited before. We had a picnic lunch, and a wander around the castle which is amazing! Definitely on our ‘go back to’ list.
We decided to surprise the girlies with a stop at the seaside on our way home. So we hopped back in the car, and drove to Llandudno. We used to go lots when Lola was a tot and we had a car, but haven’t been for years. We found a pub for some dinner, then took a walk down to the pier. It was a little chilly, but so pretty – the sun was just starting to set and the sky was gorgeous. We walked to the end of the pier, then back up where the kiddos spent a fun half hour in the arcades {and spent a small fortune on the 2p machines!}
By this time it was almost 8pm, dark and we were all tired, so we took a drive home. Love road-tripping and it’s so easy when you’re not waiting for buses/trains!! Such a fun day out – we really need that car! Oh – and I really need to learn to drive :/ The thought of learning to drive and then having four kids shouting at me puts me off a little ha!!

October 9, 2014 at 23:10Glad you had a great time. I hope you are able to get a car soon. We used to live in Glyneath and I remember how hard and expensive it was to get about.

October 14, 2014 at 00:50Oh wow sounds like you had an amazing time on your road trip and what a good idea – I mean if you had it over the weekend why not. I know public transport is getting so expensive I can only imagine how much it would be with all of you. Looks like you had tons of fun
