A MUST SEE

I was told by a friend, this is a must see this summer in Bristol. The Bristol Old Vic has set up and enormous outdoor arena to bring us the World's greatest pirate adventure. I'll be booking our tickets tonight!

GORILLA HUNTING

We had a great day riding all over the city hunting for gorillas. It was an amazing way to get to know Bristol and find some hidden gems that I would have otherwise never come across.

 We met some families doing the exact same thing and shared some of our stories, secrets and pictures with each them. It's not a contest but it would be neat if it was. We have yet to find all 60-it will be a continued project over the summer. My butt is still in recovery from our four hour bike ride!

Bristol has Gorillas but most big cities have the same charity program running through the summer. It's a great and inexpensive way to keep the kids entertained either in your own city or on vacation.





Happy hunting! xoxo

What a brilliant way to see our lovely city. I think Connor & I will have to check out a few locations today on our bikes. 


I'll make sure to bring the camera!
