Happy Easter, y’all!
Hope you have a great long weekend planned indulging in chocolate eggs and hot cross buns.
Or better yet, you get to catch up on some much needed and well deserved sleeeep!
We’re off on our next camping adventure.
On the morning of our departure, my fly by the seat of the pants husband managed to find a tow bar fitter.
Then, he came back with this…
Everything, including the kitchen fridge is in that trailer.
Backing out of the driveway was all sorts of joy.
(“Reverse!” “Stop!” “Forward!” “STOP!!” “Swing right!” “STOOOOOOPPP!”)
Looks like we just get keener (or crazier) with each trip we do.
As much as I hate to admit it. There is something addictive about the fresh air and unpredictable moments of camping. Deflating air mattresses aside.
I’ll also be catching up with my old primary school friend who also has a set of twin boys.
Twin Tornados approaching!
The caravan park won’t know what hit them.
Stay safe this Easter, folks! If you’re road tripping, drive carefully.
Not nagging just caring…okay? Okay.
What’re you up to this long weekend? Have you ever been to the south coast of NSW? What’re the tricks to driving with a trailer?

Despite the great Harrington storm of 2015 which tried to bring our tent down on our first real camping holiday, we’ll be doing it all again when we get back from the States next month. I surprisingly enjoyed the camping life – there is something soothing and refreshing and self satisfying about putting up your own shelter and braving the great outdoors. Enjoy your break and go Mr Surfer for using his head and getting hold of such an awesome trailer to tow everything in!

We’re hitting the road today too for some Easter camping times. I’m nervous, I will admit. Last year was far from a success but the lure of that fresh air and a bit of adventure has called me back for another round! Hope you have a GREAT trip xx

Camping!?! Better you than me. We’ll also hit the South Coast tomorrow. But we’re staying with four walls, a roof, a floor and a indoor TOILET.
Travel safe Grace!

Love that photo you posted on instagram, Grace. I really miss our yearly trip to Canberra. Our Canadian friends moved back to North America, and now my husband is spending his two extra days off studying – EVERY year. So Easter isn’t as fun as it once was. I’ll just live vicariously through you. Can’t wait to hear how you go with the twin tornado! haha!

Have an awesome trip! And remember, it’s not a real Easter camping holiday unless it pisses down with rain and you’re covered in mud 🙂 ENJOY!!!

We lived on the South Coast for a little while and even managed some camping while we were there. Hope you have a fantastic weekend. Fairly quiet one here. Hubby is back from sea and Miss 16 heads to Greece tonight.

Enjoy your camping trip, you’re creating fabulous holiday memories for your twins!
I was always too scared to take my twins camping when they were younger, as their tendency to run freely and explore without a backward glance was a bit too much for me! I kind of regret that now, although we did have other lovely holidays.

Happy Easter Grace. Hope you have a successful camping trip – surely with twin tornadoes terrorising the park, at least they will sleep well each night?! Safe travels xx

Have a great weekend camping! And a happy Easter!
Tips for a trailer? Remember that when backing up, turn the wheel the OPPOSITE way you want the TRAILER to go!!!! 🙂
Learned from experience….hauling a 32 foot trailer….yes, 32 foot trailer.

Happy Easter to you and yours!! I just flew home from Singapore this morning and headed straight to the Sunshine Coast to spend Easter with my family, including my twin nephews who are 16 months old now, so a lot more active than they were last Easter!

Happy Easter Grace! I hope you have a great time camping, and you and Mr Surfer get the tent up with no problems 😉 We are heading up the North Coast of NSW for 7 days. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we have some warm enough days that we can take the girls to the beach. Enjoy your break xx

Denyse says
NOT a camper but I am glad to see you and the family having a go. Mr Surfer is very wise buying a trailer like that…no excuse not to take the boys’ gear now and in the future! Merimbula is beautiful, I flew there for a weekend a few years ago for work reasons. Lovely! D x
