Spinnaker Tower

We had a trip out today to the Spinnaker tower in Portsmouth. We caught the ferry across so we didn't have to take the car around. Not the nicest of days weather wise but at least it didn't rain. We haven't been up the Spinnaker for a couple of years. I find it quite pricey for what it is but I had some clubcard vouchers and the kids wanted to go.



They did really enjoy it a lot more than I thought they would and spent quite some time mucking around on the glass floor, questioning how it works and how many layers of glass there are.

They were pointing out all the places they could spot from so high up and they did have a little exhibition in there too on WW2.

We took a break for some tea and cake in the cloud cafe` not a bad place to sit and watch the world below. They had some replica newspapers from the wartime to have a read of which we did.

We then left and spent quite some time going around the shops in Gunwharf Quays, before going back home on the ferry. 'M' decided she really wanted a pink dress so we spent more time shopping in Gosport. She didn't just want  a dress with some pink on it, it had to be all pink! We turned it into a bit of a game and eventually found one that she was happy with. Girls are a different species to boys all together. Although the boys had been moaning for chinos for weeks and they finally got some too. Happy kids although I was shattered.

After a quick beans on toast dinner, as we got home so late, the kids all went off with dad for their swimming lessons. While I continued my hunt for a suitable hall to hire for a new group that we are hoping to set up soon.
