Roadtripping... CHEERS to the WEEKEND!
There are few things that make a Friday more than knowing that you will be hitting the road out of town - it is like the ultimate weekend kickoff! lol - and today was one of those Fridays! Up early, packing bags and getting "road ready". This officially being our first weekend away with posh pup too lol - and we were armed well with towels because he has not adapted very well to the "smooth Mercedes ride" - like clock work, 40 minutes in and all the breakfast biscuits are re-invented haha!
The trip to my dads place is about 90 minutes so we decided to break the trip for all of us and have some "roadside munchies" - mostly because none of us had eaten lol! There are several roadside farm stalls along the way but were obviously on the lookout for one which would accommodate posh pup :) - We ended up at a really cool place called Peregrine - and yes, when I am not drinking wine, I am drinking water lol
We were literally there for nothing more than about 30 minutes (sadly) - grabbed a bite to eat, gave pup a chance to piddle and feel the earth under his feet to rid him of his car sickness lol and then we were back on our way - but I would definitely like to go back there again. I did not even get to explore the farmstall ffs lol...
Thankfully posh pup survived the rest of the trip in good tact lol :) When we got to my dads place, Jude was MIA in an instant as he went to change into boardies and hit the water! - Got to love kids and water ;) I was pretty keen to jump into that water too, only to realise that I had forgotten to pack my bikini lol!!!! sigh but in all honesty... as hot as I was, the water was VERRRRY chilly, despite being solar heated... the sun, is not that generous to those panels in Spring haha!
Swimming and unpacking done, it was chill time for ALL of us! Honestly, I could have curled up on the bed and slept for a good few hours, but moms don't get afforded such luxuries lol...
I managed to sneak a few minutes of magazine indulgence lol but then the resting were wide awake and it was play time and also time for me to prep the goods for dinner... which was a "BBQ" eeeeek yes @zord189, we had a barbeque not a braai hahaha ;)
❤ CHEERS TO THE WEEKEND PEEPS ❤
❤❤❤
Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx

Glad the pup survived! He needed the brave t-shirt!
A mom's day is never done, is it? But, glad you got in some family time and still feels funny to see you coming into spring as I am getting ready to usher out summer. My best memories are to fly off into the hot sun as I left snow behind me. Now that is what vacations are made of!
The stop does look like a worthy second go-around when you get back home. Looks like a place that MarketFriday is made for! :) Love the shot of you and Jude together. Family is everything, and then some.
Have a great time and you can rest when you get home. As if. :)

Oh you know it!!! lol
Ha! Talking about us moving into Spring... we had that fabulous day when we arrived and the very next day we were in full blown Winter again HAHAHA!! We didn't even get to braai... I was super bleak lol
I should have actually explored the farmstall a bit more but we were a little strapped for time as Dave had a gig to get to... but we will definitely go back there again and then I will indulge you on that suggestion :)
It was a great little getaway, thank you love and thanks for the tip and the love!
can't tell if lobster roll or chicken salad sub😂 but it looks good.. even better if LC🤤
LOL it was chicken mayo and yes it was GREAT, but HELL was it messy... I felt like a four year old eating that thing lol
Looks like a great start tot he weekend have a good one
that place you stopped out looks cool I can see why you would want to go there again
It really was a fantastic weekend all round, thanks :) Hence my grossly delayed replies haha! As for Peregrine, yeah it was awesome... we very nearly stopped on the way home too - until Jude bellowed from the back of the car and begged that we please just go straight home. lol... but there will be a next time :)
Thats great, and like you say there will always be another time
Have a great day
Now that is how memories are made. I remember quite a few of these weekend type of trips when I was growing up and was blessed to have them. I hope you are able to relax and enjoy the weekend!
I certainly did get a lot of relaxing in thanks @enjar and it was a super weekend all round!

Love the picture of you and Jude, you're both darling! Did you notice your tshirt said Always Be and Judes said Brave in the picture? That says it all :) Something we all need to remember. Glad you're having a weekend away, we too love roadtrips as you know. Hopefully there will be a bit of downtime for all of you. xx
Oh wow! I did not notice that! How precious!!!! :)
And yes we all got some much needed chill time thanks xxx

This is the kind of weekend that I like but which unfortunately happens very rarely. The visit to the parents, the joy of the child ... wonderful moments.
Wonderful moments indeed! and yes, I think we ALL need to make more of an effort in our lives to have more of them!
Yes, especially since after a certain age it becomes more and more difficult.
