Honey Pot Cafe
Our first day of vacation we ate breakfast at the Honey Pot Cafe in the city. The food was just as good as I remember it being, but the inside of the cafe was completely different. The inside of the cafe use to be the color of honey and the walls were slipperly looking and rounded, so it felt like you were inside Pooh's honey pot. We still had a good time and enjoyed our meal. 
Sleep Tight
Thankfully we all slept well during our family va-ca. We stayed at my friend Joelle's house in Christchurch, which was a tremendous blessing. We only had two times during the first day at Joelle's house when Isaac got out of his port-a-cot. His curiosity got the best of him! The first time I caught him sitting in the middle of Joelle's bed making faces at himself in her mirror...no harm done. (I had to try and keep from smiling as it was actually pretty funny to watch him from the doorway) The second time he sifted through Joelle's jewelry. I didn't actually know about it until I went in to get him up from his nap. Something in the room didn't seem right and then Isaac said, "I was looking for an earring". I wasn't quite sure what he was talking about until I saw Joelle's earring bowl on her dresser. I could tell that his little mits had been sifting around in her jewelry bowl as things looked aray. Little stinker. Hudson also found a special doggy that belonged to Joelle's roommate Cusha. He commandeered the fluffy dog all week and slept with him until we bought him his own fluffy lamb as a replacement. Now he sleeps with his lamb every night. So cute!

Governor's Bay
We took a day trip to Governor's Bay so that the boys could see the beautiful scenery that is right on the outskirts of the city. We stopped at a cafe I remembered and we had handmade chocolates and pineapple juice! 
Yummy Souvlaki
We had Souvlaki for dinner after our Day at Governor's Bay. We stopped by the Souvlaki Shop that Sally, Kim and I frequented once a week when we lived at Maidstone Road. The owner remembered me and gave us some dessert for free! It was fun to introduce the owner to Josh and the boys.
Playing at the Park
On the way home from Governor's Bay we drove by my old house that I lived in back in 2002. We stopped at a nearby park to stretch our legs.
Exploring the City/Tram Rides
One of my favorite days during our holiday was the day that we explored the city via tram. The trams run on a loop around the majority of the city, so it was a fun way to see a lot of sites. We took a "pit stop" after one of our tram rides and had a snack and a chai latte. Josh snapped a pic of this cool old car.
