AD | Best indoor play area in Norfolk? Hootz House AD | Best indoor play area in Norfolk? Hootz House atΒ @pensthorpeukΒ is definitely a contender. This nature themed indoor adventure play area has something for all ages... including the adults. With rope bridges, ladders, tunnels and amazing slides it's a great place to be active and have fun. There's a small area for under 3s, a cafe and a separate seating and viewing area for when you're ready for a rest.Β  It's no wonder Erin's already asking to go back!Β  #TravelBloggerΒ #TravelTheWorldΒ #TheOHallorans #TravelWithTheOHalloransΒ #PensthorpeΒ #Fakenham #WestNorfolkΒ #NorfolkBloggersΒ #ThingsToDoInNorfolk #NorfolkDaysOutΒ #NorfolkΒ #100FebSnaps
AD | Yesterday we headed to West Norfolk to spend AD | Yesterday we headed to West Norfolk to spend the day at @pensthorpeuk and what a day we had! If the 700 acre nature reserve wasn't enough, there is a phenomenal indoor play area, activities for families, gardens and a huge outdoor play area. We spent all day there and didn't come close to seeing everything. We're already looking forward to going back again in spring or summer to see how everything looks when the flowers are growing again. Want to see more from our day out? Check out the highlight! #TravelBlogger #TravelTheWorld #TravelWithTheOHallorans #TheOHallorans #Pensthorpe #WestNorfolk #Norfolk #NorfolkBloggers #NorfolkForFamilies #NorfolkDaysOut #100FebSnaps
It's nearly February half term and I'm looking for It's nearly February half term and I'm looking forward to a little getaway with Erin. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ John's busy with work so me and Erin are heading to Norwich to stay in a Premier Inn for a night. We're excited to be going back to see @kidzpopparty at the Maddermarket Theatre and out for dinner somewhere.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ It just goes to show that you don't have to go far away from home to have a good time. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ What are your plans for February half term?​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #TravelBlogger #TravelTheWorld #TheOHallorans #TravelWithTheOHallorans #FamilyTravel #Grandma #Norwich #100FebSnaps #TravelPlans #TravelIn2023 #2023Travel #NorfolkBloggers #KidzPopParty
Every year we try to have some fuller family holid Every year we try to have some fuller family holidays, which means that Mum also comes with us. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ We can't do it for every holiday sadly, thanks to money and work commitments. Erin loves it when Grandma comes away with us though as generally, they get to share a bedroom. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ We have a couple of family trips planned this year and we cannot wait! ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Do you go away with other family members?​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #TravelBlogger #TravelTheWorld #TheOHallorans #TravelWithTheOHallorans #FamilyTravel #Grandma #Granddaughter #100FebSnaps #TravelPlans #TravelIn2023 #2023Travel
Last summer Erin and I went on an adventure to Not Last summer Erin and I went on an adventure to Nottingham for a few days and had a great time exploring. It's such a family-friendly city and there's so much to do.​​​​​​​​​ Over on travelwiththeohallorans.com today there's loads of ideas of things to do in Nottingham, and a 3 day itinerary to help you plan your time. Have you been to Nottingham before? #TravelWithTheOHallorans #TheOHallorans #Nottingham #VisitNottingham #RobinHood #NottinghamForFamilies #Travel #TravelBlogger #FamilyBlogger #100JanSnaps #ExploreTheWorld #Notts #FamilyTravel
Today I've been busy making plans for some adventu Today I've been busy making plans for some adventures later in the year. In the Easter holidays, me and Erin are going to London for a couple of nights while John has to work.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ It always takes me a while to figure out exactly what we're going to do but once I have one thing planned, it's much easier.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ This time, we'll be heading to the theatre to see Matilda the Musical! Erin loved seeing the film at the cinema a few weeks ago and has been listening to the soundtrack ever since. Matilda starts slightly earlier than other shows at 7pm, so it's not too late of a night for Erin. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Now, just the rest of the trip to plan!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ What's your favourite musical in London?​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #TravelBlogger #TravelTheWorld #TravelWithTheOHallorans #TheOHallorans #WestEnd #Matilda #MatildaTheMusical #LondonTheatre #Theatre #LondonForFamilies #VisitLondon #London
Everyone was feeling a bit better this morning and Everyone was feeling a bit better this morning and we headed out to Felbrigg for a walk and some fresh air. The last time we went it was freezing cold, everything was frosty and frozen but today it felt like there were finally signs of spring. We're lucky to have such wonderful National Trust places so close to us. Have you been out and about this weekend? #TheOHallorans #TravelWithTheOHallorans #NationalTrust #Felbrigg #FelbriggHall #NorthNorfolk #NorfolkForFamilies #WinterWalk #TravelBlogger #100JanSnaps @felbrigghallnt
Anyone feel like their kids are just constantly il Anyone feel like their kids are just constantly ill at the minute? Erin seems to have just got over something and a week or two later, she's poorly again!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ It doesn't help that the weather is awful, it's freezing and the electric bill keeps going up. I'm pretty much over winter and ready for some sun and warmer days.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #TravelBlogger #TravelTheWorld #TravelWithTheOHallorans #TheOHallorans #Winter #100JanSnaps #NorfolkBlogger #Norfolk #NorthNorfolk
When we go away we like to do a bit of a mix when When we go away we like to do a bit of a mix when it comes to eating out. While I try to find some cheap places for most meals, we also like to splash out now and again. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ During our week in Brussels, we visited Hard Rock Cafe, somewhere I knew we would all be happy. I could book a table easily online, not too far ahead of when I wanted it.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ With classics such as salmon, burgers and chicken dishes, this is a great option for families who might have people who like to stick to what they know. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #TravelBlogger #TravelTheWorld #TravelWithTheOHallorans #TheOHallorans #Belgium #VisitBelgium #BrusselsWithKids #ThingsToDoInBrussels #ExploreBrussels #Brussels #HardRockCafe #100JanSnaps
One of our favourite days out while we were in Bel One of our favourite days out while we were in Belgium was at Antwerp Zoo! We'd only planned on spending a couple of hours there but really we needed the whole day. Not only does the zoo have so many great animals but there are some fab outdoor play areas too. These alone will make your kids want to stay longer. Do you have a favourite zoo?

We've been going on holiday to Center Parcs since We've been going on holiday to Center Parcs since Erin was tiny... I think our first time was when she was 1.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Since then we've been most years with the most recent visit being in summer 2022. This year though, we've made the decision not to return.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ As much as we love Center Parcs, and Erin does, for the price we can do so much more. It's such a shame that a midweek break in a school holiday is around Β£1400, without even thinking about food or activities. That's more than what we paid for a 6 nights in Belgium last year with a night in London either side. ​​​​​​​​ (I searched during 3 school holidays this year and the minimum was Β£1399) ​​​​​​​​ We might get back to Center Parcs one day, but for now, we'll be out having adventures elsewhere.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #TravelBlogger #TravelTheWorld #TravelWithTheOHallorans #TheOHallorans #CenterParcs #100JanSnaps
It seems like it's the week for bad news. ​​​​​​​​ Last year, Erin and I had a fantastic time in Nottingham, and one of our favourite things was visiting the castle. Unfortunately, it closed for good it seems in November of last year. It's so sad to see so many places closing. #TravelWithTheOHallorans #TheOHallorans #Nottingham #VisitNottingham #RobinHood #NottinghamCastle #NottinghamForFamilies #Travel #TravelBlogger #FamilyBlogger #NottinghamCastlePlayArea #ExploreTheWorld #Notts #FamilyTravel
