"Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside!"

When I was a child, our family's summer holiday was usually spent at the Primrose Valley Caravan Park, at the seaside. I have many fond memories of fun times spent with my family. I remember that this was the only time that my mum bought the individual mini-packs of sugary cereal, quite the treat in our home. Also, a mug was set out for each of us which contained our pocket money for the week, my mum would divide it up and tell us how much we had to spend each day. These were good times. So, every time I go home, I like to go to the seaside, this year, we decided to go to Bridlington.

As you can see above, one of the walls featured bricks with fish molded into them, it perked Amelia's curiosity.

Amelia experienced her first carousel ride, it was just a small one, but lots of fun - daddy even got to ride free!

Below, is a photo of the "Bridlington Eye" kind of like the "London Eye", we decided it would be a fun way to get a bird's eye view of the coastline.

Matthew, Amelia and I sat on one side of the "car"...

...and mum (who is afraid of heights) and David sat on the other.

Amelia loved hanging over the edge and looking out.

Next, David, Matthew and I went on a speedboat ride, if you look closely you can see the boat behind us, we sat in the front seat, it was so much fun.

Amelia was fascinated by the seagulls and got quite close to this one.

After walking down the pier, we headed for the beach.

I was trying not to get my feet wet whilst taking the photo below, since the waves kept running up to where I was standing, but I just love the result, it's one of my favourite photo's.

Daddy gave Amelia a piggy-back ride which she enjoyed very much.

Ever since Matthew proposed to me on the beach at Santa Cruz, California, we always write something in the sand, this day was no different.
