We had a lovely weekend in Portsmouth. The weather was amazing. DH enjoyed his trip on the tall ship. Mum, DS3 and I went shopping on the Sat morn at the Gunwharf Quays. DS3 loved the shops there and cost me a fortune! The Kipling shop was wonderful! After lunch on the harbourside we went to the dockyard and explored Victory and the Mary Rose. Then we went on a harbour trip which was great as when we docked we came into the harbour at the same time as the tall ship. After checking in at the quirky B&B I had booked we went for a lovely meal in Southsea followed by a visit to the beach where I paddled for 10 minutes. Early on Sunday morning we went round many of Portsmouth's 'back streets' and found the house where my Mum's Mum was born in 1901 which was fascinating and my Mum was very happy to see where her Mum was born. After that we went up the Spinnaker Tower - wow the views were amazing. We travelled back via Port Solent, rather disappointed with that visit as it is rather down market now. We called in to DS2 on the way home and had a BBQ. It was a really good weekend. 2 pics - one of the tower and one of the tall ship.
