Urvi's Scribbling

Next morning I could wake before the birds chirped. It was gloomy and fog lay on the banks. I was trying to figure out east while reminding me where the sun set to the west.  The boys were still sleeping and my eyes was wide awake wanting to soak in more of this beauty. After the sun rose and my son rose... We all did a group hug and headed to the play area.  H made few friends and we had poha, chai and bread muskah for breakfast. The Resort people were kind enough to serve warm milk for my son. Hello Sun H starting to interest in photography New friends H was keen in exploring the place more. He showed me some red chilly plants, a sugarcane grass and few grasshoppers over a Chikoo tree. We spotted a green cocoon, a praying mantis and a grasshopper.

The movie was about to exit the theaters and we didn't want to miss this one. It was a sudden plan and that night was full of surprising decisions. We surfed the travel apps and in just 10 minutes booked our weekend getaway to Dahanu, a small village near the sea shores of Maharashtra. A 3hr drive from Mumbai, smooth roads, few tolls and lovely scenes to relax your mind. Morning started with a visit to Kaman tirth on the way and we had our breakfast there. It took us a hour and a half to reach our hotel which was just opposite the beach. We relaxed and ate lunch, binge watch Netflix in the room. My son was so happy to play in the balcony that he almost skipped his nap. We went to the beach in the evening and had a gala time playing in the sand, horse cart riding, sipping gola and ea...
