our far north get-away

we love the far north, a place to relax and unwind. this year we were delayed a little bit but it happened to pay off as we had the most epic weather possible! it was so good to get away and relax together, also having mark's parents visit for the last two days.

isaiah lights up even more in the outdoors and lapped up the wide open space and water {not literally!}.

pracitising my photography skills on manual {again after so long}

this year far surpassed our memories of camping at kaimaumau last year. the weather was amazing and we didn't have to fight the showers that can sweep in at all! the far north is a special place as you have a pick of each coast and lots of beautiful seaside spots. having an all terrain vehicle definitely helps up this far north as you aren't limited to the roads only.

i love exploring new places and for hubby's family it is a nostalgic place to visit with lots of memories of their five years living in the area. if you haven't been to the far north of new zealand i implore you to check it out!

what little adventures have you been up to lately?
