Last week I had the urge to have a quick little getaway before the baby comes.. because then I know that realistically, we probably won't be going anywhere for quite a while. (Plus, we discovered that with the car loaded with our camping gear, we might not be able to go camping with 2 kids in car seats in Rubee... unless we are very very creative.. or very minimalist!).
We went to Bellevue Beach Campground, just over an hour away from St. John's. The forecast called for rain for Friday night and Saturday morning.. but we decided to risk it anyway. The weather on Friday was beautiful, after all.
Here are some pictures from our trip!
Brian is exceptionally talented at roasting marshmallows. Golden brown and perfect every time.
As a side note... you should try making s'mores with these cookies (we chose the dark chocolate ones though.. 70% cocoa and DELICIOUS!). It's easier than getting graham crackers and chocolate separately and makes perfect, delicious, chocolatey s'mores. Available at a Dominion/ Superstore near you.

Well, it rained. A lot. It poured all night really.. thankfully, our tent is very waterproof. It was still raining a bit in the morning so we found this little gazebo with picnic table down the road for our breakfast spot, rather than staying at our soggy campsite. Dining room with a view!
French press coffee, sausages, bread, strawberries and eggs.. yummy!
Good reviews on the breakfast.
Boiling some eggs and growing a baby. At the same time.
The rain stopped! Walking down the beach. It had real sand, which is pretty good for Newfoundland!
Bronwen loved the beach! Especially poking her fingers in the sand.
Fog burning off.

Hmm what a sweet spot to have breakfast! Love the simple pleasures in life...the best. We had a fun weekend with your Mom and Dad. Spent a lot of time together on the motorbikes.
I see Bronwen has learned to wrinkle her nose. Cute.
