Thierings on Tour

It was an early start for me as I had forgotten that WA don’t do daylight savings and so my 9amSydney meeting was actually at 6am! Yikes 
However a perk was that by breakfast time in WA it was already Sydney lunchtime and a great time for a break. So we headed out to Gnarabup to check out the beach & views. Sadly it was another dreary and freezing day, so after a few quick snaps we warmed up with some coffees and babycinos.

Chris and I remembered that we actually stayed nearby when Izzy was around 13 months, it was just a lot warmer that time of year as it was around Easter. 

We headed back and made lunch, I did a few more meetings and emails and the girls made the most of the campsite playground.

After lunch we went to a mini golf course, which got everyone’s competitive streaks out and soon enough ended up with meltdowns, fights and stress. However, we tried to turn things around and got the game back on track… everyone is learning to support each other with big feelings and we are definitely getting better and faster at working through them. 

Once we were done we also had fun with the hula hoops and hanging around in the gardens and playground. Then it was time for a bit of fun for the adults (or Chris in this instance) as we headed to a few wineries for some wine tastings.

We only had time for three today, Voyager, Lleuwin and Xanadu. Each had some delicious wines and the girls did well busying themselves while Chris tried a few samples and I opted for designated driver today. 

The gardens and estate at Voyager were next level and Scarly very much enjoyed drinking from a “fancy” water cup there.

Lleuwin estate was our favourite for the day, as it had some great Shiraz wines, our favourite. The lady pouring the tastings for Chris asked if we were locals as apparently our kids looked like “surfer kids”. I had to break the news to the poor lady that we were simply disheveled caravaners 😂🤭

Then Xanadu was a lucky one as we snuck in 10 minutes before they closed and the lovely was so kind and friendly, entertaining Scarly whilst having all the time in the world to share her knowledge about wine with Chris. We came away with another delicious wines accompaniment for tonight’s steak.
