Weekend at the Seaside



For Father's Day, we went to Brighton for the weekend! It was really a lot of fun. It's a great place to bring kids. Not much traffic, very compact and walkable, lots of places for them to run around. We stayed overnight on Saturday. I did not make the reservation until Friday night, so there was not much available, but I managed to get us rooms at the Holiday Inn. The Holiday Inn is located a little to the west of the main attractions, which I was at first disappointed about. But then I realized that right across the street, there's a playground and several funfair attractions for kids 5 and under! It turned out to be the ideal place to stay.



We ate lunch on the beach when we first arrived. It was a little chilly there.

Pascale on the bouncy castle


The weather was rather blustery and chilly, but Josephine still braved the temperatures in order to wear her swimsuit in the paddling pool.



We walked A LOT, but the girls managed well.
