A grand day out
Jamie's new job doesn't start until January 10 so, for the first time ever, he has not just time off actual work over summer but also time off thinking about work, worrying about work or checking in with work. We are trying to do something 'fun' every day for this first part of the year. We've been to the maize maze, played mini golf and, today, been on a great big Canterbury road trip
First we drove to Oxford where, after morning tea and a hoon around the playground we checked out the Time Travellers Museum - a sizable collection of action figures, movie posters and retro toys lovingly curated by a genuine enthusiast-with-a-shed.
We drove through the Waimakariri Gorge (and stopped for a paddle)...
...before turning inland and driving to Castle Hill to scurry through alpine meadows and among limestone outcrops...
...and finished the day laughing and leaping through the breakers at Sumner. It was awesome.
