Loving the Holidays

A few months ago my gorgeous sister, Maz, moved to Napier with her partner.  These holdiays we were lucky enough to be able to stay with them in the their new house (which they had been in for only a week when we got there).  As Maz is not working at the moment, we got to spend lots of time just chilling out with her and seeing the sights of Napier.  The weather was near perfect with crisp cool mornings and gorgeous warm days.

Maz lives at Bayview, backing onto a vineyard and just a stones throw from the beach with it's glorious sunrises.  We took a trip up Te Mata Peak and went to Clifton beach for lunch and reminisced about the time we took the tractor ride out to Cape Kidnappers.  We had coffee in Ahuriri and the kids played on the playground.  We drove around some of the art deco buildings and walked along the waterfront.  We looked sadly at the closed up Marineland and wished that they could get some new dolphins and open up again.  We drove by Splash Planet and the kids cant wait to come back in summer to go on the slides.

We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful holiday destination so close to home and we count our blessings that now we can go there every holidays to see my sister.
