This past weekend, we decided to have a fun little family getaway. After discovering a ad for Bewilderwood (http://www.bewilderwood.co.uk/) and that the weather was supposed to be great, I planned a last minute weekend at the coast near Norwich.
We spent a fun day Saturday at the Bewilderwood park. It was so neat and super fun for the kids. There were tree houses, rope bridges, slides, zip lines and a boat ride. Apparently, the park is based on books by a British author. We haven't found the books yet, but we are glad we found the park.
Afterwards, we traveled an additional 30 minutes East and explored the town of Great Yarmouth (http://www.great-yarmouth.co.uk/whats-on/default.aspx.) The kids were excited to get to play on the beach, although Saturday evening was quiet windy and the water was freezing. It was much to cold to swim, but we brought along our sand toys. It was fun to dig, run and jump in the waves.
After a nice seafood dinner, we spent the night at a local bed and breakfast (http://www.shrewsburyguesthouse.co.uk/) walking distance to the coast. We enjoyed a great English breakfast and a long walk along the beach. After a nice drive and lunch at McDonald's (which is a treat for Sarah, since there is not one close by) we were back home in less than 2 hours.
We all thought it was a great getaway and a fun way to spend time as a family.
