The weekend away with Celia in Waikanae

Hi,

What a lovely weekend - makes me want to get away far more.  Friday saw me home nice and early with the car in town, but Toby got there not long after me with Tessa and two of his mates (Zac and Ethan).  They had a movie night at our place and a sleepover.

After some grocery shopping Saturday morning I was off after lunch to collect Celia from her place and head off to the weekend away with her and some friends.  As we left the Hutt for Waiterere Beach, Celia plugged the address into her phone GPS and discovered we were actually heading to Waikanae Beach.

Yes!!  Much closer. 

The place did not disappoint (they had stayed there last year - I think Jen knows the owners).  They had a hot tub and a huge tennis court in the backyard.

I cooked lasagne and popped that in the oven.  Everyone arrived within 30 mins with Gemma a little later.  Ange and Dee and Jen.  We opened snacks and drinks and a huge jigsaw puzzle.  Before it got dark, I also played tennis with Celia and Jen. 

Puzzle time!


The puzzle was finished around 11pm.  It was a good thing to do for the entire evening.  We would switch places every now and then.

Lazy sun time

So sleepy he dropped his phone!

Slept well in the bottom of a bunk bed.  More tennis the next morning with Gemma - enjoyed that.  I didn't lose any balls that morning (lost three the evening before over the neighbour's fences).  Went for a long walk with Gemma on the beach.  Choice!

Tidied and left with Celia to enjoy an iced coffee at Paekakariki.  It wasn't bad.  Crushed ice and cream.

Beach St Deli - pretty good

Friday iced latte @ Machete


Dropped Celia home and went straight home to see Mike.  Toby was in Masterton with Tessa on a date.  They had lots of fun.

Session with Quentin this morning.  Deadlifts.  45kg.  Let's see how that progresses.

Have a great week.  It's a short one.  Good Friday beckons.

Love,
Angela
