Half term at Haven

I decided to take the family on our very first UK holiday. I knew the weather was going to be unpredictable, but I was not going to let that stop me. It's half term, it's the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, we have our new car, so a bit of rain is not going to dampen my spirits! 

It was the right time to start, with the children being almost 5 and 3, it is our first road trip, our first holiday with no with no buggy, with both children being toilet trained, sleep trained and with any luck, R will have some memories of it. 
To make R's wish come true, I booked a caravan holiday on the South West Coast of England, in Weymouth, Dorset. 
There is so much to see and do in Dorset that the 4 nights were simply not enough. 
Despite the weather being cold, wet and windy we managed to fit in a whole load of activities including swimming, kite flying, mini golf, biking, sand building, arcades, beach exploring, seaside attractions, arts and crafts, live music, singing and dancing. 
There were so many local attractions to visit and so many historical sights to see including the Jurassic coast, 1000 year old castles and stately homes. 
We spent our nights in our caravan, played lots of family board games and making good conversation. 
The only television we watched was the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations. 
The only thing we missed was being able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables because it just wasn’t on offer at the places we went to eat. By the end of the 4th day, R was actually craving it, asking for peas, peas and more peas.
