Summer holiday!
Thursday, June 26th, 2008Next week Monday, we are off on a little family holiday — our first time going away alone as a family, as opposed to going to stay with friends or relatives.
For this trip, we’re staying in a “baby-friendly” B&B on the Isle of Wight; very much unexplored territory for all of us. It’s not very far, just 2 -3 hours’ drive south, to the coast, and then a short ferry trip.
I’ve been looking up our B&B on an online map and took the following screenshot of its satellite image: 
Aren’t Google Maps cool! 
If you click on the image and have the bandwidth to zoom out, you’ll see that the B&B is in the middle of lots of green fields, quite close to the sea, on a bit of the island that pokes out on the west. It looks splendid and I’m very excited about our 5 day break. 
(On our way back we’re spending the weekend with some lovely friends who relocated from London to Dorset a few years back. They haven’t met Jon yet, so that should be lots of fun too.)
