Whanau trip to Wellington

Yay, we scored some cheap flights to Wellington - so off we headed for a couple of days. The kids were good on the plane, Nathan loved looking out of the window and even chuckled that is 'tummy tickled' with the tiny bit of turbulence we experienced.

We stayed at my cousin Kirsty and her husband Andy's house, which was near the airport and very handy. It was great catching up with them and also my other cousin Cameron and his family. It was a great quick trip that we'll have to do again sometime...

Lil Miss just had to push the trolley

Rugged up and playing outside

Sunday was pretty typically windy Wellington. I enjoyed the waterfront, I think they have it well set up in Wellington for families. I think Auckland could learn a lot from Wellinton in making the inner city more user and family friendly, giving more access to the waterfront areas!!! Hmm maybe I better join the Supercity council and give my 10c worth :)

Our good friend the Navman - helping us get around Wellington

Monday was a beautiful day, and we set off looking for Seals, there was none to be found, but we enjoyed the beautiful scenery

A drive through town past the Beehive

Up the Cable Car

From the top of the Cable car we went for a walk through the Botanic Gardens and came across this cool playground

Then the Navman helped us get to Petone to visit Anna and the kids. Jake got home from school and the kids had a great time with Dean on the Tramp
