We all went down to Brighton for a long weekend for your first holiday. We stayed at the Hotel Pelirocco, apparently not a baby friendly hotel, but they treated you like royalty! Boiled egg and soldiers were served up for you every morning, along with your usual super-porridge. There was quite a mess on the floor as we left the hoover (Reggie) at home.
We had a great day on Saturday, the sun came out, and Brighton was full of life. Passer-bys were waving at you as we took a stroll down the pier.
We took you for your first dip in the ocean. And you cried! Maybe it was the temperature, maybe it was the pebbles, bet you won't remember!
Daddy also took you on your first ride on a Merry-
go-round. You loved looking at the horses and were transfixed the whole way round. There is a video somewhere of the magical moment, slightly ruined by your mother shouting "you're gay!" your Daddy... You were dancing with mummy to a live band later in the day, opposite the Brighton Center. The sun was still shining and bed time was calling, so we had to go back to the Pelirocco.
Sunday took us up to Petersfield on the way back to see our Friends Toby and Kate, where we spent a comical night on the creakiest bed in the world... On our return back through heavy traffic on Monday, we decided to extend the holiday for another day and took a stroll down the Nav in Barrow for some lunch. We ended up going to Barrow Boating, & thoughts of hiring a rowing boat or a pedalo were eclipsed by the opportunity of taking out a barge for an hour. So you also ended up going on your first boat, which you thoroughly enjoyed. You were also introduced to ducks, which are your new feathered friends!
