Gerroa Beach Holiday

Beach holidays with friends and family are great! 

We had a great time last week just having fun and relaxing at Gerroa.

There are lots more pics at my Picasa web album.

Gerroa Holiday

Last week Ellen's family, Geoff and I rented two cabins at Gerroa Caravan Park for the week because our usual Gerringong holiday rental house has been sold.

Highlights included ...

Gerringong lagoon is open (a rare occurrence but with all the rain here lately it is flowing swiftly).

Lots of time for chatting over coffee, tea and games.

Friends who came to stay or just for the day. Elaine, Anne, Jen, Brad & Ali, Mick, Pauline & Lara, Janice and Rauri and Marie.

New skills learned by the boys on their bikes, in the water, and playing Super Mario Chess.

Food shared with friends. In this photo with James, Belinda, Ryan and Cara.

Of course there were also Werri Fish Shop meals with Janice and Rauri and Janice's mum Marie, Elaine. And another large group for fish and chips around Geoff and Ma's table. Then there was lunch at the Gerroa cafe with Anne and dinner at the Gerroa Fisherman's Club with Geoff.

Lots of surfing, swimming in the river, walks along the beach, swims in the pool and riding of bikes around the camping grounds.

Next year I'd like to find somewhere that would allow me to spread a jigsaw and maybe some patchwork to fill the very sunny days when it is too hot for the beach. If you know of anywhere at Gerroa please let me know.

Beach Holiday

Last week I had a great summer holiday at Gerringong as we have done for maybe 15 years and before that at Mum and Dad's when they lived at Gerringong. We had the same two units we usually book. Geoff stayed down the whole week this year. Jen and Brad were able to spend a few days with him as well.

Ellen, Rod and the boys came for Saturday night and then were able to rearrange work commitments to come again from Wed. to Sat.

Karen and Alastair, Pernilla and Leonie also spent time down with us and Roger and Janice came for their 'annual beach holiday'.

 

Nola and Gherry came for lunch one day and we even met Dane and Bron at the shops this time.

There was the usual jigsaw puzzle set up but the corker was Janice's globe puzzle.

 

 

There was also a Take Two Tournament. But most of all there were lots of swims with some people seen in the surf for the first time in decades. Alex and Luke enjoyed rock pools, surfing and the river at Gerroa .

 

 

 

There were lots of fish and chip meals and other tasty meals together at a couple of different local haunts but most of all we had time to be together.

Surrey would be pleased that it all worked so well. Geoff and I remembered him as we threw some 'flowers on the water' - frangipani from the rock platform at Gerringong. There were a few shared tears.
