Weekend Getaway

After many weeks of not feeling good and not taking a sick day, Barney and I decided to have a little night away with Jessie. We just had to get away from home and relax!

We drove 2 hours north to a town called Forster. We got there mid morning and went straight to the dog beach. We didn't stay there long as we wanted to head to the dog agility park. It was quite hot and Jessie wasn't too into it, but she still walked the bridge and jumped over the wooden jumps. She didn't get the hint with the tunnel and jumped on top of it instead of going through it. Oh well, she had fun!


Our next stop was to find somewhere to sleep. We ended up at a caravan park where we stayed in a pet friendly cabin. Places like this are so wonderful as we can take Jessie everywhere with us and if we do go out for dinner, which we did, we can leave her safe in the cabin.


We had a lazy afternoon and it was perfect. Fish and chips down by the river, an afternoon nap and a bit of TV before taking Jessie out for another walk and then going out for a buffet dinner. Jessie was exhausted by the end of the day, as was I!

The next day we took our time driving back home along the coast roads instead of taking the highway. Once again, we had lunch at the beach. We did lots of exploring in areas we hadn't been before and just enjoyed the sunny day.


Overall, it was a lovely night away. We both felt really relaxed and I know Jessie had a lovely time. She was so tired last night she didn't even make it to her bed. She just crashed halfway to bed on the floor.


I took an extra day off today to catch up on laundry and cleaning. I also went into town to do some shopping because my clothes are getting too tight! (Now 15 weeks!) Today, 10 days into spring, it was 30+ degrees so I was thankful to be inside the mall.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend as well :)
