Girl's Weekend

Since Chris was away for the holiday weekend, my friend Hannah and I decided to take a Girl's Weekend to the beach in NewQuay, South Wales. We were excited to sit on the beach and read or walk around the beach town. Unfortunately, it was cold and rainy the whole time. We found some really cool caves on the beach. Once we walked along the beach, we saw that the tide had come in and blocked our pathway back to the hotel. It was raining hard by then and Hannah's "raincoat" was really more like a dripping wet sheet at this point. We had to walk along the street twice as far to the hotel. We were really happy to have warm pajamas and comfortable beds!
It may not look too windy or rainy in the caves, so here's a picture that shows what the weather was like outside of the caves.
Here is the view from our hotel window. It was absolutely gorgeous! As we were leaving, the sun came out and the weather was perfect. Bad timing I guess!
When the tide comes in, the whole beach is covered with water. The water was so clear and beautiful.
One day we went to the Eden Project. This is a big facility where they are growing an ideal ecosystem. We explored inside these bubbles for several hours.

One half of the Eden Project was a rainforest. We had fun wandering around looking at rainforest plants. We were happy to be warm and dry, other than the humidity. The other half of the Eden Project was more like Souther California, with Cacti and lots of flowers.

We had a fantastic trip. It was so nice to get away and relax and enjoy the splendor of the Ocean. I was happy to be away from the office without the possibility of being called into work. Hannah and I can't wait to go on another adventure to the beach with our husbands!
