Well for some reason Greta didn't think so though.. it took us 2 hours and 15 minutes to drive up there and she screamed the entire way!
So when we got there we checked into our room and put her in her cot for a nap, i took Miles out for a walk to the local little shopping village and Jonathan stayed in the room with Greta - and nodded off himself he said!
Anyway she slept for a couple of hours then Miles and I went back to the room and she was just waking up, but refused to get out of her cot lol, she looked all snug as a bug in there..
So then we went out for luch and she whinged through that, there was a guy playing a saxaphone at the cafe it was lovely actually Miles was dancing :).. then back to the hotel for a stroll through the gardens and over to the little shopping village where there was a chocolate factory so we got Miles a strawbery dipped in choccie...Greta screamed and whinged all the way round the shops! We had look in the toy shop and the book shop, then for some reason jonathan decided to drive half an hour away looking for an alpaca farm - there is an alpaca farm 7 minutes drive from our house! Anyway we didn't find it and Greta was screaming - again!
So back to the hotel to sit in front of the fire and have a galss of wine - Greta screamed and threw a tanty!
Then we went over to the restaurant for dinner.. and you guess it, Greta screamed her way through dinner.. everyone was looking at us, and when you consider there was a rather loud band playing, she was really making a racket to be heard over that!
So then back to the room and put Greta in her cot and she went to sleep - 5 mins later Miles went to bed ... ahhh a couple of hours of bliss for mum and dad!
I think i fell asleep about 9pm though and J wasnt far behind me.
Next day we got up to a whingy Great and had Brekkie which she cried and scremed through.
Then we checked out and headed to the Gardens, and Miles was super excited to see the Story book gardens... Greta was pretty unbearable and screamed the whole way through, Jonathan ended up taking her to the other end of the gardens where there was no people as she was screaming so much it wasnt pleasant.. So Miles and I wandered around the gardens and it was fantastic, Miles loved it.. he was so excited.
Only time Greta stopped screming her head of was when she got her face painted, she loved that.
i really thought she'd like to toddle around the gardens and look at the flowers and birds but nope - just screamed blue murder the entire trip!
Anyway we had lunch and headed home - now jonathan decided to drive home and as if we hadnt had enough of Greta's 24 hours of non stop screaming... he took the scenic drive! 5 and half hours later, including a 1.5 hour traffic jam waiting for the ferry to cross the river and we were home and would you belive for that 5 and a half hours Greta fell asleet for half an hour - she never ever sleeps in the car!! And she did not make a single sound - for 5 and a half hours stuck in the car! Amazing!! She coloured in and played wiht Miles' baloon and entertained herself - perhaps she was happy we were going home!
anyway some pics of our trip.
