Isle of Wight hear we come!

Day one of our hols to the Isle of Wight! We left home at 10.30am for the midday ferry, the car was all apcked up and we looked like we were going for a month not five days! We arrived at Portsmouth in plenty of time, Sam loved driving onto the ferry and the crossing over to Fishbourne. It was fantastic weather so the views were lovely.

As soon as we drove off the ferry Sam fell asleep and on the way to our accommodation we stumbled across a pub with lovely views over the islands country side, it was rude not to stop and have some lunch. They had a play park so Daisy played, Sam slept and Tim and I enjoyed a peaceful lunch - what a good way to start the holiday.

It was then off to our home for five days, a three bedroom mobile home in Shanklin. Thankfully it was lovely and clean so after unpacking we walked down to Shanklin beach for some sand castle building! Daisy and I even had a swim in the sea, the first this year.

We then walked back, had a shower and then headed to the entertainment on site, unfortunately on our one it was pretty shocking but they have a bigger one up the road so will try that out tomorrow. Daisy loved the disco though and Daddy won the best parent disco dancing compeition - we are so proud!

Loving the short ferry ride, beats flying and the airport run!
