Outings in 2010 !!!

with a infant in hand u are not supposed to be roaming around much.. rather no long distance travelling.. but who will stop us hehehe...

started this year with a trip to Madurai in Feb.. Renu was down from US n we were meeting Adwi for the 1st time.. such a sweetheart that she is. After visitng the temple in tat heat we also went to some place (i forgot the name) where they had Adwi's head shaving cermony. It was a typical Tamilnadu interior village...
a nice trip for a nice family get together...


Then came May.. It was my cousins wedding and off we were to Coorg. Well the place was not like i had seen it previously. It was hot n dry, very disappointing. But then we had our share of joy when we went to Bisille ghat. A drive to remember for long.

Come August n my lil infant is a year old !! so off we go to Ooty to celebrate the transition of my infant to a toddler :)
The trip was really good... we had the bday cake cutting in Nilgiri Express, a small cute train that runs between Ooty n Conoor. Enjoyed ourselves in the cold weather n were back after a 2 day trip.

September... time for Ganesh chaturthi... time for a trip to Goa. HAd a nice time travelling by train after long. Aarik's first visit to Goa n obviously my parents were all delighted to have thier grandson at home. n Aarik had a nice time at the beach. First day he was not ready to go close to the water.. by the third day at the beach he was not ready to come out of the water hahaha... looks like he liked to stay in water to get rid of the heat of Goa.
After a week long stay we were back in Bangalore.

A break from long distance travelling in Oct n November had us hit the road again. It was planned for Waynad.. but last min changes n we were on our way to Munnar.. Beautiful roads in Tamilnadu.. the highway was superb. but the ghats of Munnar was nauseating. :( but once in Munnar the breath taking view had us cheered up all over again. What with us driving thru the clouds on the hills covered completely with Tea gardens. A trip to Tekkady was good too.
Got to see a bear in the wild for the first time.
And as we watched a herd of wild elephants by the road side near Medupatty dam.. my lil fellow was calling them like we wud call dogs :D
A nice trip overall.. refreshing !! only thing Aarik kept throwing up really bad thru out the trip. :(

November had us make another long distance trip.. this time not a holiday kind but a formality kind. We had to attend a wedding of one of hubby's cousin at Nandayal near Karnool[AP]. Well the trip was very tiring. The place is really very hot n had Aarik crying in th heat. But then it was a experience in its own way..

Come December and hubby realises we have not made a trip to Tirupathi... so wat we waiting for.. lets go.. Been to Tirupati n lucky us..my boy din't create a scene in the queue. We also visited Kalahasti.

Trip time-out for the year.. or do we still have one for the last weekend of the year !!???!!!! :P
