I can't take my eyes off of you. *looks happily at her bed*
This weekend me, my mum, brother and two family friend families ventured to a town in the Barossa Valley region, Tanunda. We, for the past several years, go away every easter to a caravan park and live in tents for a few nights. It's quite a pain to pack, unpack, pack and unpack but it certainly is good to get away from the city and suburbia to a country town where there are only two pubs, a bistro, a couple of takeaway (fish & chip and pizza, none of that generic McDonalds) shops and a few other shops that specialize in all sorts of things.
Instead of explaining the whole holiday word for word, I think I'll just mention my five highlights and five lowlights of the weekend.
Highlights:
1. Relaxing in my camping chair doing nothing much.
2. Taking an annual visit to the famous Wohlers in main street.
3. Playing with the younger kids on the playground.
4. Going wine tasting on Sunday (trying Honey Mead, fermented honey, and delicious gourmet foods at the famous Maggie Beer's Farm Shop).
5. Having a good laugh at the clown show that night.
Lowlights:
1. Sleeping in a tent on a queen-sized mattress with my mum (I'm quite used to having my own double bed at home all to myself, which is why I'm so happy to be going to bed soon).
2. The youngest, Elisha who is 4, behaving a bit out of order at times... especially when being put to bed.
3. Having the roosters wake me up at only God knows what hour in the morning, every morning.
4. Not getting enough sleep consequently.
5. Too much chocolate and sugar.
I can't think much right now because it's heading very closely towards bed time and I am absolutely wrecked from this weekend, just generally because I didn't get enough sleep. I wish I had something profound or important to say but truth be told I didn't go to church (even though there was enough churches around Tanunda to pick from) this weekend, and I kinda wish I had so that I would've had the urge to think about the great sacrifice our Lord took so that we can have this life. There's just something about country churches that seems so homely.
So what did you do for Easter weekend?
