Out and About with the Murdoch's

Last Thursday Andy's parents make a road trip down to see us in Poole. They stayed on High Street, the end of the street with all the shopping, so we met them outside out apartment and took them on the other end of High Street, through Old Town Poole. We walked around as Andy chatted acting as tour guide. If he wasn't already such a good military man he would make a perfect tour guide! He is quite the chatter of knowledge! We went and got a pint and some food at our new local pub, The Plymouth Hoy. My summer edition Lemony Cricket ale was amazing, as always. After grabbing grub and showing off our town we showed off our bare but still cute apartment. 

Louise loves the country side in Dorset, as we all do,  so we took a drive, it was a stunning day, to a small sea town Swanage and around Corfe. We drove through the Sandbanks, according to our tour guide it is the most expensive place in the world. The homes here cost more than anywhere in the world. None of us could figure it out! I mean, it was petty and all, but I have seen better and in much warmer weather, such as... Florida!! Supposedly it is so expensive because one: the people who own these homes are big wigs in London, and two: the front yard is water and the back yard is water (giving it the name The Sandbanks). After seeing the multi million pound homes we took the ferry across into the country side while eating a Cadbury's 99 ice cream! Yum Yum Yum!! 

We got to Swanage and I fell in love with the place! Louise has always loved this little seaside town and I can see why. It was such a quaint tiny town right on the water. It felt as if you have stepped back in time. We just strolled around window shopping and watching crazy kids who were brave enough to play in the freezing ocean! I can't wait to come back and explore some more! Mom you will LOVE it here! We then set off for a walk around Corfe to see the castle while sipping on a pint! It was a fantastic afternoon!

After our fabulous day exploring more of the English country and me feeling starved, surprise surprise, we went to dinner at a little Thai restaurant called Thai restaurant haha! It was amazing!! I ate so much I felt like someone was going to have to roll me out of there!! Thank god everywhere is in walking distance because I would NOT have been able to drive!! I could barley breath. The best cure for this... a few more pints down at our local!
