AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @p AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @pottersresortsfivelakes with @slwilson84. It was an action packed three nights with a full activity and entertainment programme, great food, lovely drinks and beautiful surroundings. 

The staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and they ensure that everyone has the best time possible. I don’t think I stopped smiling all weekend.

The best thing about Potters holidays is that everything is included in the price you pay. Four meals a day, all your drinks - including wine, Prosecco, most spirits and soft drinks - great accommodation and so many activities. 

I’ll write a full review soon but for now here’s a little Reel of our weekend
I always have a lot of questions about accommodati I always have a lot of questions about accommodation when we stay anywhere as a family so I thought I’d share this little tour of our room at @windjammerlanding which was a pretty perfect place to stay.

It’s the ‘Ocean View Two Bedroom’ which was like a little house, with an upstairs and downstairs, built into the hillside. Both rooms had outdoor space and their own shower rooms. Such a great option for a family.

And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is watching her grow and what a wonderful young woman she is becoming. We could not be more proud. Love you Pickle, have a great birthday.
We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in S We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in St Lucia staying at @windjammerlanding and it was just the holiday we needed. Two weeks of sunshine and relaxation in what must be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. 

We can’t wait to go back again in the future. Here’s just a little snippet of our trip.
AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @na AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @national_motor_museum despite the rain! The children loved the Little Beaulieu play area and we loved exploring the National Motor Museum and Top Gear exhibit before having a ride on the monorail! We went on an old open topped bus, explored the Beaulieu Manor House and loved the gardens. 
Beaulieu is always a great day out - whatever the weather. This summer they have a whole ‘Summer of Fun’ planned, with activities most days - parades, bird shows and hundreds of sculptures within the grounds too. If you’re looking for a day out this summer definitely think about heading to Beaulieu.
AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to t AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to their first concert - but it was so much more than just a concert! @abbavoyage is incredible. With CGI ABBA and a live band, it’s like being at an ABBA concert 40 years ago but with modern lighting, effects and sound. ABBA look and sound real, it’s a mind blowing experience.
The set includes all the songs you know and love as well as a few less familiar ones.
You can’t take photos during the show which actually made a refreshing change. A whole arena focused purely on the show and soaking up the moment. It’s definitely something the four of us will always remember.
Now, I’m off to sing Dancing Queen all the way home.
AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdo AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdockyard today. They have a fantastic Ultimate Explorer ticket that lets you visit all the attractions as many times as you like for 12 months - and after a day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard we can see that you need more than one day to really do everything!

We explored HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Exhibition - which is incredible! We also saw where ships are built and restored and spent time in Action Stations where the kids climbed and did an assault course.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is such a fun, educational day out with something for all ages - we can’t wait to go on their harbour tours next time we visit!

Holiday Destinations That Will Push You Out of Your Comfort Zone | AD

*This is a collaborative guest post

Leaving your comfort zone behind and pushing your limits hard has a charm of its own. If you’re someone who wishes to embrace the unknown and take new risks, then an exhilarating and challenging adventure awaits you. Here’s a quick look at some holiday destinations that can push you out of the comfort zone.

Volunteer Abroad to Help Animal Welfare

Do you love animals and prefer to take care of them? Well, then this could be your ticket to holiday destinations that can bring you right out of your feel-good zone. From volunteering to save orangutans in the cities and various nature reserves of Malaysia, to helping save the sea turtles in Florida, there are various choices available. One can even volunteer to protect the habitats in New Zealand and Australia to get a taste of what living in the wild feels like.

Volunteer for a Project Abroad

Those who desperately wish to break out of their comfort zone, there are plenty of volunteering projects available that are perfect to get involved with. For example, opt for teaching in the impoverished countries such as Sudan, or lend your helping hand in environment projects or healthcare works done worldwide. When you volunteer for such projects to places you’ve never been before, you must face new challenges as you adapt to differing environments, which automatically push you out your zone of comfort.

Visit the Driest, Coldest and Windiest Continent

While the wildlife and picturesque setting of Antarctica looks enchanting, not many actually opt for a visit to the continent due to its harsh weather. But if you’re considering booking a real adventure, visiting this land of ice would be a thrilling experience. The majority of it being largely untouched, any traveller is sure to have an experience of a lifetime. Exploring and surviving the icy wilds of Antarctica doesn’t come anywhere close to the word ‘comfort’, however if it is challenge you are after, there is no better destination.

Explore the Island Country of Cuba

Fancy travelling to Cuba, to a place different from any you have been to before? Then book your trip now and prepare yourself for the holiday of a lifetime. Though Cuba is mainly known for its dance music ‘salsa’, it does also offer challenges and excitement differing from other countries. Cuba is full of thrilling culture, extreme landscapes, delicious and different cuisine and amazing snorkelling and diving opportunities; those who accept this challenge get rewarded with an enriching cultural experience of this Caribbean country.
