Last week we took the kids out of daycare to travel to Bremen and take them on their first boat tour. We were lucky to have glorious weather that day and a lovely breeze from the river. We took water and snacks and had a wonderful family day out.
Sometimes, it's easy to forget that you don't have to go far to get that holiday feeling. I love these day trips and I hope we'll manage a few more.
This one is still one of my favourite memories from last Summer.
I wasn't sure how the kids would react but they both loved it. They sat and looked for a while and then they ran around and played a bit but all within limits and they were not a bit of trouble. Isabella was very proud to tell her Grandma all about it on the telephone. She loved spotting other ships and some of the industrial areas, especially the 'broken down pirate ships'. They both slept well afterwards too!
For me, it was a sign that we can do more with the kids and it's wonderful to enter this new stage as a family where we can do more and the kids are a little more independent.
