Pemberton {Boxing Day}

After a wonderful Christmas Day we decided to get away from Manjimup for the day and headed to Pemberton to see the sites.

Growing up I spent a lot of time in Pemberton with family & alone.  It is my ideal location, lots of wonderful trees, water and close to the ocean for the odd occasion I want to visit.  Justin & I have not been since we had the smalls, infact the last time we visited would have been our honeymoon back in 2004.

Lots has changed but for the most part it has all stayed the same, all be it at this time of year a lot drier.

 Beedalup Falls

 

I can't for the life of me remember then name of this place but it was a lovely looking swimming hole

Warren River Lookout

The Cascades

The Bicentennial Tree

Big Brook Dam

We will get back to Pemberton in 2013 to spend some more time looking around/exploring but also to visit to some good friends.

Christmas

Our first traveling Christmas & it was wonderful.

We decided to stay in Manjiup with Jim & his family.  After a nice slow morning, all be it early we headed to Kojinup for lunch with everyone {there was lost of small people which my two loved}.

A quiet evening with an early night in bed & our first Christmas was over with.  Full of food, laughter and fun.... PERFECT!

Yallingup Again {Visiting}

I made plans before our trip to Perth to spent the week with my grandparents before we headed back to Manjimup.  Originally it was going to be myself and the smalls while J stayed up in Perth for work, the job however wasn't ready so we all had a relaxing week together {with my grandparents of course}.

A trip to see Nana & Pop isn't right unless it involves a trip to the Busselton Foreshore.  It never gets old down there, I love looking at the Jetty and how the different lights change it every visit.

                                     

We also took a drive around Eagle Bay.  The weather was chilli but the sun was bright

 We got to watch the sunsets in peace and watch the small ones nap on Nana's couch.

 

Not sure when we will be back to our spot on the lawn in Yallingup but it is always lovely to visit.  Back to Manjimup we go
