Our Last Year at Summerfield Holiday Park
Every year since our children were born we've taken them to the coast for summer holidays. We've seen Great Yarmouth, Hunstanton, and everything in between. Last year, which also marked the final year we would be travelling with our children, we spent our summer holidays at Summerfields Holiday Park. Our kids are all married and with children of their own, and we knew that Summerfield would be a great where all three generations of the family could go together. It was a wonderful experience that we all enjoyed. However, starting next year, it's time for my wife and me to begin spending our summer holidays with just the two of us.
We're not quite sure yet where we will go and what we will do. I've always thought it would be great fun to rent a boat and spend a few weeks boating on the Norfolk Broads. I love the water and I love fishing, and a Broads’s holiday seems the best way to enjoy both. I'm not quite sure my wife would agree so that's something we obviously will have to talk about. I suppose it doesn't really matter where we go as long as we can spend quiet, quality time with one another.
If I know anything about my wife, I'm sure she'd rather tour the English countryside with stops at quaint little bed and breakfast places on quiet, country lanes. She enjoys slow drives through the countryside and picnics in open fields. That's not necessarily my cup of tea, but I would enjoy it nonetheless because I'd be able to spend countless hours with my bride. I can see us strolling down the lane enjoying the warmth of the sun, the gentle summer breezes, and holding one another's hand. I can almost imagine it now.
Holiday vacations with our children were always great, including last year's adventure at Summerfield Holiday Park. But there comes a time when older couples need to get back to spending time with just each other. It's so easy to grow apart while you're raising children because husband and wife simply don't have enough time for one another. But once the children are gone it's important for them to grow back together again, if they want a healthy and happy marriage. That's why my wife and I decided to bring our holidays with the children and grandchildren to an end. Thankfully, they fully understand and support our decision.
As I write this, I'm looking out the window and seeing the winter snow. All the more reason I'm looking forward to next summer's holiday with my wife. Where we go and what we do really doesn't matter, as long as we're together.
