Last year when my parents were here it was quite a mad few weeks trying to fit in as much as we could and show them everything here that was wonderful - and anyone who reads this blog or lives here knows that's a lot of stuff!
So this year we decided to move at a slower pace, our days don't really start till lunch time making sure every morning we fit in a BBQ breakfast! It's been a lovely week already of just spending quality time together.
So after a leisurely weekend Monday rolled round in a blink of an eye, making the most of it we headed to Te Papa. I have always liked Te Papa (well apart from peak tourist season!), its an interactive world of pure amazement, I'm always proud to show it off.
We had a wonderful time viewing all the different areas, my parents taking time out with Bethany (whilst I hung out at the cafe in peace) to view the new Whales Tohorā exhibition. We took a fantastic trip back in time at the old junk shop that comes to life at Golden Days, and had a wonderful relaxing lunch in the cafe.
Then heading out to take in some of that fresh Wellington ocean air.
A wonderful walk, a generous picnic and some amazing sights to see - memories to cherish forever were made.
