The weather wasn't optimal for a beach holiday (we actually saw a couple snowflakes), but the scenery was pretty. Also, we saw lots of animals at the zoo and at Living Coasts (a zoo for marine life), and we road a steam engine and then a ferry to Dartmouth, which is very quaint village at the mouth of the river Dart (hence its name).
There was some good food (including lots of yummy fudge), shopping (a must for Ally and Maddie) and a nice hotel with an indoor pool (also a must for Maddie).
And, in addition to the chocolate Easter eggs (an English tradition) given to us by the hotel and the Easter egg hunt (also organised by the hotel), the Easter bunny managed to find us and left baskets full of treats for the girls. So, lots of fun and even more candy for everyone.
View from hotel room:
Paignton Zoo (FYI - while we did see real crocodiles, we only let Maddie stick her head in the pretend ones):
Living Coasts (The penguins were roaming free; they seemed to like Maddie, as they spent a fair amount of time following her around):
Dartmouth (it was very windy):
