My vacation is over!

I’m glad we went to the Camping Park, we had a great time away from the traffic, busy streets, neighbors knocking at our door, malls and specially the house work.

This was our vacation house for 5 days. Two bedrooms, bathroom with shower, kitchen and living room, TV, fridge and a fan.

We spend a lot of time in the pool but the high temperatures prevent us from spending even more time in the pool.

With two active children it is almost impossible for me to rest. When one is quiet the other requires attention and vice versa.

I didn’t read the book I took, I was able to make 4 Sudoku’s puzzles and check two magazines.

On our last full day in the camping we were invited to participate in a Walk along the river through a tough vegetation. We walked for 4 hours, dad had to hold Catherine most of the walk due to the rough ground conditions, Dani hold himself very well and did the walk very happily. During the walk we were able to bath in three river beaches, we even jumped from ropes into the river…it was fantastic.

The walk ended up on a waterfall, in a absolutely beautiful green scenario from a very beautiful river and vegetation.  The view was breath taking!

I didn’t take the cell phone to the walk therefore no photos were taken. One of the guides took a camera but I’m still waiting for the photos to be emailed to me.

We ended up the walk with several scratches, feet and legs were the most scratched due to the vegetation.

As soon as we arrived at the camping park from the walk we all went to the pool to a deserved bath!

This was an excellent experience that I hope we can repeat soon. The only negative point…the bell from the local church bell giving the hours and half hours day and night.

Today it will be the last day I will have access to Internet. Tomorrow morning we are leaving for a few days out of here, I’m really looking forward to it.

The Laptop will remain at home and my cell phone provider doesn’t provide Internet service so I won’t be able to check my email or read blogs.

I hope I regain energy during these days so that I can write more posts than I’ve been writing these last weeks.

I’ll see you all next week!!!

Big decision. As we have the beach 15 minutes away from here and we don’t have money to go to the south of the country where is warmer and better weather, we had decided to spend our vacation at home.

Camping was not on my plans, I have one very active kid and my daughter is only 4 so camping with a tent was out of question. A friend told me about a few camping parks in the mountains, where we can find cheaper prices because it is away from the coast. I did a little search on the Internet and we decided to rent a Bangalow on a camping park in a mountain, near a river and with a river beach.

Next Saturday we will be staying on a Bungalow for 4 people, with bathroom, kitchen, TV, fridge and also access to a big pool, soccer field, activity field and several possible activities like canoing, fishing, etc.. We will also have all the other facilities that a camping place has like a coffee shop, barbecue, laundry room and much more.

This is the first time we will be “4 on vacation”, this is the first time my daughter will be away from home so I don’t know how she’s going to react.

I hope we can have a quiet and relaxed time. Although I could, I’m not taking the laptop with me, I believe I’m not going to survive without it for 6 days. I’ve already set my vacation dates on Payu2Blog (I write for them on other blogs) because I can’t write any assignments on those days.

My son talked about taking is PlayStation 2 but…no, I said no PS2 are allowed there (I lied…I know).

What I’m taking are: board games, cards, puzzles, coloring books, activity books and magazines. Family activities, quiet and rest are the things I will be looking for.

One of my problems that prevents me from going on a long car vacation is that my car is too old and has many problems. When I have to go somewhere far from where we live I’m always afraid that my car will break on the way. Renting a car has already crossed my mind.
